La Liga returns with the cracking Barcelona derby on Saturday. Espanyol are set to host Barcelona in the much anticipated ‘Derbi barceloní’ and the match looks winnable for the Blaugranes. Barcelona come fresh from eliminating Cultural Leonesa in the Copa del Rey by an aggregate of 5-1 which propels them to the further stages of the competition.
Meanwhile, Espanyol have lost their last three league fixtures and if they lose this one, it will be their worst record since 2012. Speaking of league games, the Blaugranes are unbeaten in 14 games against Espanyol with 13 clean sheets to their name, thus the fixture is a huge test for the hosts.
