Barcelona will be bidding to make it back-to-back victories in La Liga when they continue their campaign away to Alaves on Saturday evening.
Xavi's side, who are fourth in the table, will enter the contest off the back of a 1-0 win over Osasuna, while an in-form Alaves beat basement side Almeria 3-0 last time out.
Alaves have not beaten Barcelona since September 2016, but El Glorioso will enter this match in strong form, having won four of their last five matches in all competitions, including their last three in La Liga.
The Basque side have collected 10 points from their last four matches, drawing with Real Sociedad before recording wins over Sevilla, Cadiz and Almeria, and their strong run of form has moved them into 11th position in the table, now 10 points clear of the relegation zone.
Suddenly Alaves have their eyes on a top-10 finish, sitting just three points behind 10th-placed Getafe, and they have picked up 16 points from their 10 home league matches this season, recording five wins in the process.
