Barcelona host Slavia Prague in the Champions League as they aim to consolidate their position in Group F. With seven points in three games, the Catalan giants are sitting pretty at the top of the table and are unbeaten in Europe this season. Ernesto Valverde's side look primed for qualification and only a monumental collapse will put last season's Champions League semi-finalists on the brink of elimination.
Lionel Messi and co are set to visit the San Siro to take on Inter Milan on matchday six and the Spanish side will be eager to seal qualification before their trip to Italy. Slavia Prague, on the other hand, are the only winless side in Group F and the reigning Czech champions will look to cause a major upset when they travel to the Camp Nou.
Key match facts

This will be the first meeting between the two sides on Spanish soil and Barcelona won the reverse fixture 2-1 in Czech Republic.
