Barcelona are flying high this season and they look as though no one can stop them at the moment. Sep Guardiola has done a great job and the Catalans are really impressive lately. Barca are at the top of Primera, 12 points clear of second-placed Real and they look to have already secured the title. Guardiola’s team won seven successive Primera games and most of them were won by a big margin. The team are scoring more than three goals per match, which is really not surprising with Eto’o, Messi, Henry and other stars in their squad. Even the back-up players are doing great and it almost makes no difference when the coach fields a second string performance. All the players are in excellent form and the 5:0 win over Deportivo this weekend is the proof. The players are full of confidence after winning 24 of the last 27 games in all competitions and that is visible on the pitch. Considering that it has been 11 years since Barca last lifted the Copa del Rey trophy, the visitors will be very motivated to win this match. Guardiola is expected to field a very strong side, and some reports are suggesting that Eto’o, Messi and Henry could all start. Iniesta is also likely to be in the starting line-up, while keeper Pinto will replace Victor Valdez.

Espanyol have been one of the most consistent teams in Primera over the last few years as they were usually placed in the top part of the Primera, fighting for the European places. They were never even close to entering the relegation struggle but things are looking much different this season. Without their best players, Tamudo and De La Pena, the team from Barcelona recorded very disappointing results and they are in real danger of being relegated to the second division. Even though the mentioned players are very important for the team, this cannot be an excuse for the poor performances. The team are now five points clear of safety and they could be forgiven for not being focused on the local derby with Barcelona. Even coach Mane is probably aware that his team don’t have the quality to eliminate Barcelona, especially as two games are being played, and his focus remains on the league campaign. Espanyol were trashed 4:0 by average Malaga side at the weekend and the players will be very low on confidence before this match. Tamudo and De La Pena are still out, which means that the hosts have nothing to hope for in this match
