It's sometimes easy to forget how quickly things can change in football. Just a few weeks ago, Barcelona's season looked all but over: their title hopes were on life support and their Champions League dream all but dead and buried after a thrashing away at Paris Saint-Germain.

Skip forward to this weekend, however, and the Catalans are very much back in business. Not only did they stage one of football's greatest ever comebacks in midweek to progress into the Champions League quarterfinals, but they head into their La Liga clash at Deportivo La Coruña on Sunday top of the table.
To be sure, their lead is only a provisional one: Real Madrid would move two points clear if they win their game-in-hand. But the difference is sufficient that Barça's destiny is back in their own hands, and they'll be confident of racking up a seventh straight league win on Sunday. Deportivo have been in poor form of late and find themselves only a place above the drop zone heading into this one.

Three big things to know
1. Deportivo’s slim hopes aren’t helped by the absences of regulars Pedro Mosquera and Florin Andone, who are both suspended. Guilherme dos Santos, Gaël Kakuta, and Sidnei will have to pass late fitness tests if they’re to feature.
2. Barça’s only confirmed absentee is right-back Aleix Vidal, who looks set to miss the remainder of the season. Jérémy Mathieu is their only current injury concern, though he could return from his recent layoff in time to make Luis Enrique’s matchday squad.
3. Barça certainly wouldn’t mind a repeat of their last visit to A Coruña back in April 2016: On that occasion, Luis Suárez netted four goals and notched three assists in an 8-0 thrashing, en route to Barcelona’s title success.
