Both sides head into this clash off impressive comeback wins in the Copa del Rey. While Barcelona brushed aside Sevilla 6-1 in the second leg, Valencia overcame Getafe.
Los Che has lost their last three encounters with the Blaugrana but one needs to travel back to April 2016 to find their last victory at Camp Nou. As for the Catalan giant, they are on a nine-game winning streak in the league and will be keen on maintaining this run.
Will Juventus bounce back from their midweek defeat? The Bianconeri saw their hopes of winning the domestic treble shatter when they were beaten 3-0 by Atalanta in the Coppa Italia. Cristiano and Co. must regain focus ahead of their clash with Parma. Will they suffer another defeat? Tune in to find out.
Despite being in ninth spot, Bayer Leverkusen is only a single point off of the sixth and final Europa League position. Peter Bosz's side will be keen on a win to remain in the hunt, but they will face a daunting task when they host the defending champion.
Bayern Munich is currently on a seven-game winning streak in the Bundesliga. They currently trail Dortmund by six points and will need to avoid a slip-up at any cost.
Kick-off for this game is at 10:00 ET/15:00 GMT on NBC Sports, UNIVERSO, Telemundo Deportes En Vivo, and SiriusXM FC in the USA; BBC Radio 5 Live in the UK; Sportsnet in Canada; and Optus Sport in Australia.
Things are not going well for Chelsea in the league. After losing 2-0 at Arsenal, the Blues then lost 4-0 in their next English top-flight game against Bournemouth. This means the Gunners are now level with Sarri's men on points, with the Italian boss coming under pressure from the fans.

Sarri: "I am really sorry... you are completely right".
Fair play to Sarri. A much lesser man would do his best to hide and completely ignore fans. Respect. #CFC https://t.co/iPSQ9srH2X pic.twitter.com/Knb0HBwyem
Questions have been asked about Sarri-ball and whether his system suits the Stamford Bridge side. However, the former Napoli tactician remains adamant that he will stick to the system as a response is needed against Huddersfield.
