Barça look to boost title bid and bring Malaga back down to earth

With first facing third in the Madrid derby, Luis Enrique's side will be out to capitalise at La Rosaleda by overcoming Michel's men, who are in good spirits after ending a six-game winless run last matchday.

Team News:

- Malaga CF: Bakary Kone and Zdravko Kuzmanovic (both injured); Keko (suspended)

- FC Barcelona: Arda Turan, Rafinha and Aleix Vidal (all injured); Gerard Pique and Ivan Rakitic (both suspended)

Malaga (15th, 30 pts):

- The Andalusians' victory at El Molinon in midweek put paid to a run of six games without winning, during which they lost five times and so had a solitary draw to show for their efforts. That crucial win in Gijon, the first since Michel was appointed as coach, also took Malaga eight points clear of the relegation zone.

- Los Boquerones have only suffered two defeats in their last five LaLiga Santander meetings with Barcelona. However, they have lost their last three games at La Rosaleda – against Real Betis, D. Alaves and Atletico Madrid – and haven't prevailed at home to the Catalan giants since 2003.

Barcelona (2nd, 69 pts):

- Luis Enrique's charges have won nine of their last 10 LaLiga Santander encounters to stay hot on the heels of table-topping Real Madrid, whom they are just two points behind. With Los Blancos facing a tricky test in the local derby against Atletico Madrid, Barça will have earmarked this weekend as a possible opportunity to climb to the summit.

- Los Azulgranas are unbeaten in their last 10 trips to La Rosaleda in the league (W8 D2).
