How to watch Villarreal vs. Barca: Date, time, live stream and TV channel

Barcelona will be aiming to record their seventh straight win in all competitions when they continue their La Liga campaign against Villarreal on Sunday.

Here, Sports Mole provides details of how to tune into the contest.

Villarreal vs. Barcelona: What's the story?

It is almost 20 years since Barcelona lost a league match away to Villarreal, which is staggering considering how much the Yellow Submarine have improved in recent years.

Villarreal have actually won two of the last three league meetings between the two sides, but those successes came away from home.

Marcelino's side have had a wobble ahead of this match, losing to Copenhagen in the Champions League and Racing Santander in the Copa del Rey, but they have won their last six in La Liga to move into title contention heading towards the end of 2025.

Villarreal are only eight points off leaders Barcelona with two games in hand, so a win in this match would send out a huge statement.

Flick's team are in strong form themselves, though, winning their last six in all competitions, while they have been victorious in each of their last seven league fixtures.

Another victory over Villarreal on Sunday would send out a title message.
