Barcelona are back in action with another crucial fixture in La Liga this weekend as they lock horns with Valencia at the Mestalla on Sunday. Barcelona have had their problems at this stadium on several occasions in the past and cannot afford to drop points this weekend.
Valencia have endured a difficult campaign so far and have been severely hampered by last year's exodus of players. Los Che have improved over the past month but will need to play out of their skins to extract a positive result from this fixture.
Barcelona, on the other hand, remain in the hunt for the La Liga title but suffered a severe blow after a 2-1 defeat against Granada. The Catalan giants are in third place in the league title and need to win all their remaining games to win the La Liga crown this season.
