Matchday 21 in the Spanish Primera División will give us one more chapter of the rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid, with both clubs aiming to keep their current spot in the competition once we've entered the second half of the tournament.
Both of these titans will have to make trips away from home to defend their status as the best teams in the league. Barcelona will be facing Valencia at Mestalla, in what should be a tough outing, while Real Madrid will put an end to the weekend when they visit Valladolid.
Elsewhere, Atlético will try to bounce back from their embarrassing loss against Cultural Leonesa in the Copa del Rey when they host Leganés, and Sevilla will try to go back to winning ways in an Andalucian clash against Granada.
Without further ado, here's what you need to keep an eye on for Matchday 21 in La Liga.
Team news - Who's in, who's out?
Barcelona - Injured: Ousmané Dembelé, Luis Suárez. Doubtful: Neto.
Real Madrid - Injured: Marco Asensio, Eden Hazard. Suspended: Dani Carvajal. Doubtful: Sergio Ramos, Gareth Bale.
Atlético Madrid - Injured: Sime Vrsaljko, Diego Costa, Koke. Doubtful: José Giménez, Thomas Lemar, Kieran Trippier.
Coach's quotes ahead of Matchday 21
Barcelona's boss admitted that there is still work to do in order to see his team the way he wants them to. The first example of this is what happened in the Copa del Rey, and Setién is all business in trying to erase that poor image.
"We're working especially in recovering the ball. There are times in which we're not doing that right. When we get to face top teams, they will be able to escape our pressure, and we need to get that part just right. It's not an easy thing to do, but I know that the guys will adjust to my idea as time goes by," the coach stated.
