Barcelona return to La Liga action tonight looking to secure a win over Real Valladolid in order to retake top spot in the table.
With last weekend's El Clasico postponed due to political tensions on Catalonia, Barca and Real Madrid had a rare weekend off.
Granada took full advantage with a win to go top for the first time this century, but their fairytale lead will not last long if Lionel Messi & co. have anything to say about it.
Ernesto Valverde's men now trail Granada by a point, but will leapfrog them if they beat a stubborn Valladolid side at Camp Nou.
La Liga preview
Barcelona vs Real Valladolid
Venue: Camp Nou
Kick-off time: 8:15pm BST, Tuesday October 29
Prediction: Barcelona 3-0 Valladolid
The visitors boast a meaner defence than Barca this season, conceding nine goals to the Blaugrana's 10 having played a game more - but Valladolid have only scored 10 to Barca's 23.
Expect Valladolid to make this a tough first half, but Barca's quality should tell after the break.
