Barcelona will be hoping to capitalise on a slip-up by their nearest rivals, Real Madrid, when they face Getafe at the Estadio Coliseum on Saturday afternoon.
A victory for Hansi Flick’s men would see them establish an 11-point gap at the top of La Liga with just five games remaining.
Earlier, Real Madrid were held to a 1-1 draw by Real Betis at the Estadio La Cartuja in Seville on Friday night.

Los Blancos appeared to be heading towards a narrow 1-0 win after Vinícius Júnior latched onto the rebound of a Federico Valverde shot to score.
However, Hector Bellerín had other ideas, drilling in a last-gasp equaliser for the home side to deal a massive blow to Madrid’s title aspirations.
Following the draw, Alvaro Arbeloa’s men sit eight points behind Barça, who will be determined to tighten their grip on the league title with a win against sixth-placed Getafe.
