Match Facts:
Barcelona (1st, 57 pts)
- Since drawing with Real Betis at the Benito Villamarin, the Azulgranas have won five on the bounce in LaLiga Santander, getting the better of Athletic Club, D. Alaves, CD Leganes, Atletico Madrid and R. Sporting. This run has been enough for Luis Enrique's side to climb to the top of the table, where they are determined to stay – starting by taking all three points again this matchday.
- Neymar's goal against Sporting was his first at the Camp Nou in league action this season. The Brazilian will be optimistic of getting on the scoresheet again this weekend, having struck five times in his six LaLiga Santander appearances against Celta.
Celta (10th, 35 pts)
- Having recorded back-to-back draws against Sporting and RCD Espanyol, Eduardo Berizzo's charges need to get back to winning ways if they are to remain in contention for European qualification via the league.
- Celta have beaten Luis Enrique's Barça three times in LaLiga Santander, more than any other team.
