Conversely, should Barca lose, Espanyol could leapfrog them into second place with a victory over Villarreal.
The Perequitos are unbeaten in the Liga since September 23rd, and a midweek victory over Deportivo La Coruna in the Copa del Rey will only boost their spirits further. However, that extra-time win will no doubt have sapped their energy.
Villarreal, meanwhile, laboured to victory over Las Palmas on Wednesday, but the deal was already done after their first leg win on the islands. Now, with Giuseppe Rossi back and fit, confidence is rising.
That said, top scorer Nihat is out of action, the eight-goal Turk having picked up a knock that will keep him out for around a week. This is a tough blow for coach Pellegrini, who wants to put a tough December behind him.
