Good afternoon everybody and welcome along to this MARCA in English live blog for this Saturday's LaLiga EA Sports fixture of Barcelona vs Celta Vigo at the Estadio Olimpic Lluis Companys.
Hansi Flick's Blaugrana are four points clear of Real Madrid at the top of the table ahead of the weekend's action, while Celta come into their trip to Catalonia in seventh place, five off Real Betis in their pursuit of European qualification.
Having clinched their place in the Champions League semi-finals in midweek, Barcelona's last league outing saw them beat Leganes 1-0 last weekend, but will likely be tired after being beaten 3-1 on the night in .
The last time these two met saw the spoils shared in a 2-2 draw earlier this term, but the Catalans did win 3-2 the last time Celta visited Catalonia.
