La Liga leader Barcelona is braced for a Catalan derby against Espanyol on Saturday
Days after suffering bitter disappointment in the Champions League, Barcelona returns to its duties in La Liga hoping a derby win over Espanyol can put some smiles back on the fans’ faces. Hansi Flick’s side are suddenly on the back foot and at risk of exiting the European quarter-finals after a shock home defeat to Atletico Madrid in midweek and in serious need of a pick-me-up. Espanyol would like nothing more than to heap more misery on its local nemesis when it makes the trip to the Camp Nou, where Barca is looking to extend its seven-point cushion atop the table.

Barcelona still has the chance to end this season with two trophies, though its Champions League pursuit got a lot tougher following Wednesday’s quarter-final second leg against Atletico Madrid.
Pau Cubarsi’s sending off sparked a sequence of events that saw Los Rojiblancos emerge as 2-0 victors at the Camp Nou, giving Los Cules a mountainous challenge in next week’s second leg:

For now, though, attentions must turn towards the matter at hand in La Liga as Barca aims to increase its current four-win streak when facing Los Periquitos.
It’s been more than eight years since Espanyol last got the better of its Catalan rival in any competition, while it hasn’t managed to record a league win in this head-to-head since February 2009.
Cubarsi will be available for Flick despite his red card in midweek given continental suspensions don’t apply domestically.
However, midfielder Marc Bernal nor winger Raphinha are expected to be available due to injury, while there are question marks as to whether Frenkie de Jong will pass fit in time.
