Barcelona vs. Levante: Preview, Live Stream and TV Info

Barcelona continue their rapid pursuit of La Liga's crown when they host Levante at the Camp Nou on Sunday.

Real Madrid have struggled to find consistency this campaign, so Barca have been left to dominate at the summit of Spain's top division.

Levante have only three victories in the league this season, and it is unlikely they will produce a shock in Catalonia.

Barca manager Ernesto Valverde has reinvigorated the Blaugrana since arriving in last summer. Undefeated in La Liga this season, with 14 wins and three draws, no team has been able to keep up with the Camp Nou giants' pace.

The runaway league leaders have been magnificent defensively while allowing Lionel Messi and the attackers to do what they do best.

Barca have conceded just seven league goals this term, and Levante will need to be at their best if they want at least a share of the points.

However, the visitors have recorded only one win in their past six Liga matches, and no one is expecting them to hurt the hosts on Sunday.

The Valencia-based team won the Segunda Divison last year after suffering relegation the previous season. It is likely they will be involved in a huge battle to avoid demotion once again this term, with the side just two places and three points away from the drop zone.

Home fans might be treated to Ousmane Dembele's return, with the £96.8 million man back from a hamstring injury that has curtailed his campaign. Per BBC Sport, the attacker has been slowly reintroduced to the first-team squad since suffering the problem in September.

Dembele will be the star attraction if he is allotted minutes, and his potential combination with Messi and Luis Suarez will have fans anticipating glorious football for the months ahead.

Valverde has quickly re-established a confidence among the players that had started to wear thin under former boss Luis Enrique, and the club has quickly put Madrid in the shade.

Barca are resounding favourites to walk away with La Liga this season, and the visits of smaller clubs such as Levante will pose little challenge to a team intent on gaining success.
