Match preview

Espanyol have progressed to the Europa League knockout phase as group winners this season but it has come at a cost as they are rock-bottom of La Liga going into the season's half-way stage.

Since the sale of Borja Iglesias in the summer they have struggled for goals, netting only 12 times in the league this term, and they are without a win in their last eight league contests.

Their rivals Barcelona, meanwhile, are at the summit with 39 points from 18 games but their last three away wins have been by single-goal margins and they could grind out another narrow success.

Key stat

Espanyol have won only two of their 18 league contests this term.
