Barcelona will be desperate to find some consistency in La Liga after a succession of different results and have the opportunity to start that process against Villarreal on Sunday at the Camp Nou.
Last time out on the domestic front the Blaugrana snatched a 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid, with Ousmane Dembele's last-gasp goal cancelling out Diego Costa's opener. While it was a result that saw them eventually surrender top spot to Sevilla, the nature of the draw should give Ernesto Valverde's men a boost.
Villarreal are used to challenging for European spots, but find themselves languishing down in 16th ahead of the weekend.
