Sports Mole looks ahead to Barcelona's La Liga encounter with Athletico Bilbao on Saturday.

Barcelona can maintain their three-point lead at the top of the La Liga table on Saturday when they welcome Athletic Bilbao to the Camp Nou.

Tito Vilanova's side haven't been beaten in domestic competition this season and they last dropped points in their 2-2 draw with Real Madrid nearly two months ago.

In contrast, Bilbao find themselves just four points off the relegation zone following three defeats in their last six games.

Alexis Sanchez remains sidelined for Barca with a foot injury, while Carlos Gurpegui misses out for the visitors.
