Barcelona - Espanyol (Lineups)

Barcelona and Espanyol face off in the Catalan derby for La Liga's 31st round. The match at Spotify Camp Nou kicks off at 7:30 PM.

After Real Madrid only managed a 1-1 draw against Girona on Saturday, the champions will extend their lead to nine points with a victory tonight.

Home coach Hansi Flick has rested key players such as Lewandowski, Kounde, Cancelo, Olmo, and Rashford. Ferran Torres starts in attack, and Gavi also makes the starting XI for the first time in a year. Pedri also begins from the first whistle, despite being substituted at halftime against Atletico Madrid just days ago due to a muscle issue.

Espanyol's team is in a very poor run of form, sitting ninth in the standings before this match.
