Fc Barcelona return to La Liga Santander today as they take on city rivals Espanyol after La Liga’s return this week.
The 2019 winners find themselves temporarily at 2nd place on the La Liga table after Karim Benzema powered Los Blancos to the top with two late goals at Valladolid.
The Catalans are unbeaten in their last five games.
However, Espanyol have no victory in their last five games after three draws and two losses.
Barcelona forward lewandowski was supposed to be out for this one after seeing a red card in the club’s last la Liga tie yet according to Barca’s club statement, “Lewandowski can play tomorrow against Espanyol after the dispute settlement court in Madrid issued a precautionary measure against the suspension imposed by the court of arbitration for sport”.
Xavi relies on Marcos Alonso as the perfect Center half replacement for the retired Gerard Pique as the club is uncertain of transfers this winter.
