Having returned to the top of La Liga last weekend, Barcelona take on third-place Villarreal in a significant domestic tussle at the Spotify Camp Nou.
Hansi Flick’s champions relinquished their spot at the summit after losing back-to-back games, but Real Madrid’s slip-up at Osasuna opened the door for Barça to reclaim top spot. The struggling Levante proved to be the perfect foil for a potentially slumping outfit, as Flick’s side coasted to a 3–0 victory.
A tough test beckons, though, with Villarreal’s visit among the toughest left on their La Liga calendar.
The Yellow Submarine have won back-to-back games away from home against Barça, but Saturday’s hosts did claim a 2–0 victory in the reverse fixture before Christmas.
Villarreal, who endured a wretched Champions League campaign after a fifth-place finish in La Liga last season, are unlikely to work their way into the title race. They’re currently 10 points back from the leaders, so only a victory on Saturday would embolden their very slim hopes.
