Confirmed lineups for Barcelona v Real Sociedad fixture
Take a look at Barcelona and Real Sociedad's starting lineups for their La Liga matchday 26 fixture at the Olimpic Lluis Companys Stadium in Barcelona, Spain.
Barcelona have the chance to reclaim the top spot in La Liga when they host Real Sociedad on Sunday in a crucial matchday 26 encounter. The Catalans, currently second in the table and two points behind the leaders, can move to the summit with a victory following Atletico Madrid's 1-0 win over Athletic Club.
Hansi Flick's side come into the match in strong form, having won four of their last five games across all competitions, with only one draw in that run. Their recent performances have boosted confidence as they continue their push for the league title.
Real Sociedad, meanwhile, have had a more inconsistent spell. The Basque side have secured three wins in their last five matches but have also suffered two defeats. Despite their struggles, they remain a dangerous opponent capable of causing problems for any team.
Barcelona starting XI: Szczesny (GK); Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsi, Gerard Martin; Casado, Pedri; Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha; Lewandowski.
Real Sociedad starting XI: Remiro (GK); Aramburu, Aritz, Zubeldia, Javi Lopez; Zubimendi, Marín, Olasagasti; Barrenetxea, Sergio Gomez; Oskarsson.
