Osasuna vs. Barcelona live stream: How to watch La Liga live online, TV channel, prediction, odds, start time
Barcelona are in Pamplona on Sunday looking for a third consecutive La Liga win when they face Osasuna at El Sadar ahead of the September internationals. The Catalan giants have seven points from their opening three games after beating Cadiz and Villarreal since drawing with Getafe on the opening day. Osasuna are only one point behind Barca with six points from a possible nine but their UEFA Europa Conference League qualification exit at the hands of Club Brugge after a wrangle to even participate will be a source of disappointment. Wins over Celta Vigo and Valencia have sandwiched a loss at home to Athletic Club and Barca will be another tough game in front of their home fans in Navarre which is a fixture the Blaugrana fare well in. Joao Cancelo and Joao Felix have been added to Xavi's squad before the transfer deadline, but might not be able to feature so soon.

Barcelona: Cancelo and Felix could travel but might not be ready to start yet while Raphinha returns from his ban.
