Barcelona head into the weekend two points and a game-in-hand in arrears of La Liga leaders Real Madrid, with Luis Enrique’s side unable to afford any more slipups if they’re to retain their crown. They’ll look to keep the pressure on the table-toppers with another win on Sunday when they travel to face struggling Granada.

Granada have managed to win just four of their league games so far this season, and find themselves seven points adrift of Leganés and safety as we head into the final 10 rounds. Survival looks an increasingly unlikely prospect for Lucas Alcaraz’s men, who need to start picking up victories — and quickly.
They’ve lost their last five clashes with Barça, having conceded a combined total of 17 times and scored just once. Their last victory against the Catalan side came back in 2014, when Yacine Brahimi netted the only goal of the game. Barça went on to finish second in the table that season, an agonizing three points adrift of champions Atlético Madrid.
Granada will be without injured midfielder Mehdi Carcela-González, while striker Adrián Ramos faces a late fitness test. Barcelona fullback Aleix Vidal looks set to miss the remainder of the season with a broken ankle; he’s joined on the sidelines for this match by the injured Arda Turan and the suspended Lionel Messi.
