Live coverage as Sporting Gijon and Barcelona complete their week 16 obligations and meet at El Molinon.
The game was rearranged from December due to the Catalans’ Club World Cup commitments and, having landed that trophy, Luis Enrique takes his side to his old stomping ground in the midst of a 30-game unbeaten run.
