Barcelona will be determined to build on their weekend win over Levante when they welcome current La Liga table-toppers Real Sociedad to Camp Nou for Wednesday's showdown.
Ronald Koeman was indebted to talisman Lionel Messi as his 76th-minute strike propelled Barca to a narrow victory over Levante, with La Blaugrana now eighth in the table having played 11 matches so far.
Barca's opponents Sociedad have played out three consecutive draws in the top flight, but the visitors are still leading the way over closest challengers Atletico Madrid, and have only shipped six goals all season in La Liga.
