Where to watch
Elche vs. Barcelona will air in the US on ESPN Select.
Barcelona heads to the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero to face out-of-form Elche on Saturday, knowing that any sort of slip-up could see it surrender its place at the top of Spain's La Liga.
The visitors find themselves just one point clear of rival Real Madrid, but a productive week that saw them claim a 3-0 win over Real Oviedo, followed by an emphatic 4-1 win over FC Copenhagen in the UEFA Champions League, means Hansi Flick's men should come into this game full of confidence.
Midtable Elche, meanwhile, has made a solid return to La Liga following last season's promotion. However, a run of five games without a win across all competitions will have head coach Eder Sarabia nervously looking over his shoulder, with the hosts coming into the weekend's action just three points above the relegation zone.
Elche faces Barcelona at the Estadio Martínez Valero on Saturday, Jan. 31. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. CET local time, 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT in the US and Canada, 8 p.m. GMT in the UK and 7 a.m. AEDT kickoff in Australia.
