Espanyol vs Barcelona
La Liga 2018-19
Venue: RCDE Stadium, Barcelona
Kick-off: 7.45pm GMT
Espanyol host Catalan rivals Barcelona tonight looking to arrest a slide following a promising start to the season.
One of their best starts to a campaign in recent memory has been curtailed by three back-to-back losses, but Rubi's men have rarely been in better shape to end a long winless run against their rivals in the league.
Barcelona have won 14 and drawn four of their previous 18 games against Espanyol and another victory on Saturday will resign their rivals to their worst run for over six years.
