Little has been going to plan for Barcelona so far this season. Luis Enrique's side head into the weekend just a point and a place adrift of La Liga leaders Real Madrid, but the table-toppers would extend their advantage to a rather more comfortable seven points if they win their two games-in-hand. Barça can afford no more slips if they're to keep the title race alive, and head into this weekend's encounter with Leganés fresh from a 4-0 humiliation against PSG in midweek.

The good news for Barça fans is that Leganés are unlikely to pose too much of a challenge. The Madrilenian outfit are this season playing in the Spanish top flight for the first time in their history, and it’s little surprise that they’re embroiled in the relegation struggle. They’re provisionally just a place and two points clear of the bottom three, and have plenty of work still to do.

Three big things to know
1. Barça will be without Javier Mascherano, Arda Turan and Aleix Vidal, who are all on the treatment table. Sergio Busquets will miss this one through suspension, meaning Ivan Rakitić or Rafinha will be forced to take up an unfamiliar holding role. Neymar faces a late fitness test on an ankle injury.
2. Leganés will miss Robert Ibáñez, Jon Ander Serantes, Mamadou Koné and David Timor, who are all injured. Rubén Pérez will miss this one through suspension.
3. Leganés are winless in 12 of all competitions, and haven't won a league game on the road since they beat Granada 1-0 on the first day of October. They can be expecting little more than a heavy defeat.
