Match facts
- Barcelona are one of three Spanish Primera Division sides that still boast a 100 percent record – alongside Real Sociedad and Leganes – in 2017-18.
- Espanyol, on the other hand, have only a draw and a loss under their name after two games this season.
- Blanquiazules last won at Camp Nou in 2009 but have failed to triumph since then.
- Eighteen meetings since then have ended in fifteen wins and three draws for the Blaugrana.
Team news
Another three points is at hand for Barcelona, but an easy victory is not expected regardless of the Blaugrana’s impressive head-to-head record in recent years. Unfortunately for the hosts, Ernesto Valverde has a few injury worries.
Arda Turan was the only collateral damage from the recent international break, joining Rafinha (meniscus trouble) on the sidelines. Sergi Roberto picked up a knee injury during Friday’s training session and will thus miss the game.
Luis Suarez returned from injury during the international break and will once again partner Lionel Messi in attack. The duo could be joined by summer signing Ousman Dembele, who could make his debut on Saturday.
