Barcelona vs Espanyol: Line-ups confirmed for La Liga clash
Catch up with all the action from Barcelona vs Espanyol in La Liga
Barcelona bid to move nine points clear at the top of La Liga with a win over Espanyol this evening.
The Blaugrana will be fired up after title rivals Real Madrid dropped more points against Girona on Friday night, giving them the chance to move within touching distance of retaining their crown.
But in a Catalan derby, nothing is ever a guarantee. Barca have a strong history in this fixture, but Espanyol still have faint hopes of securing a spot in Europe next term, and will attack at the Camp Nou with everything they have.
