Barcelona hope extend their lead at the top of La Liga on Sunday afternoon when they host Catalan rivals Espanyol in the Derbi Barceloni.

La Blaugrana extended their advantage at the summit in style last weekend, hammering Real Madrid 4-0 in El Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Barca have dominated this particular derby over recent years, with Espanyol having failed to win this fixture since January 2018. Having spent last term in the second division, Espanyol are meeting their local rivals for the first time since a 4-2 defeat in May 2023 – a fixture which secured the 2022/23 La Liga title for Xavi’s Barca.

Espanyol have made a largely underwhelming start to their La Liga return, with just ten points accumulated from their opening 11 matches. They have tasted five defeats in their last six league outings but did earn some respite midweek after beating San Tirso 4-0 in the Copa del Rey.
