After watching Real Madrid cruise to another three points on Saturday, Barcelona get the chance to respond when they host Villarreal at the Nou Camp on Sunday.
Buoyed by their Copa del Rey victory over Atletico Madrid in midweek, Luis Enrique's side might nevertheless be somewhat fatigued by the effort of that high-intensity clash, and Villarreal will hope to take advantage—though they're coming off their own tight cup clash against Getafe.
Indeed, the two sides are due to face each other in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey later this month, adding an extra dimension to a clash that Lionel Messi and Co. will hope to win comfortably as they look to keep pace with their famous archrivals.
The game kicks off at 8 p.m. GMT (3 p.m. ET), so join us around 30 minutes beforehand for the team news and the buildup ahead of this contest.
