Hello everybody and welcome to today's MARCA in English live blog for the LaLiga EA Sports fixture of Barcelona vs Oviedo. Barcelona return to league action this Sunday knowing that anything other than three points could further tighten an already tense title race at the top of LaLiga. Hansi Flick's side sit first in the table, just one point clear of Real Madrid, and will be eager to respond after last weekend's surprise 2-1 defeat away at Real Sociedad, which was their first league loss since October. That setback allowed Real Madrid to close the gap, and with Los Blancos facing Villarreal on Saturday, the pressure is firmly on Barcelona to deliver at Camp Nou. Encouragingly for the Catalans, they bounced back in midweek with a thrilling 4-2 Champions League win over Slavia Prague, a result that boosted confidence and underlined their attacking quality. However, defensive frailties remain a concern. Barcelona have conceded 22 goals in LaLiga, the joint-most among Europe's top five leagues, and Flick will want a more solid display against a Real Oviedo side desperate for points. Oviedo arrive bottom of the table, seven points adrift of safety, and are enduring a difficult return to the top flight. Goals have been hard to come by, with just 11 scored all season, but recent draws under new boss Guillermo Almada suggest they won't roll over easily.
