Lionel Messi and Barcelona are back on free-to-air television in the UK on Tuesday evening as they travel to face Villarreal at the Estadio de la Ceramica.
The treble-chasing Blaugrana, currently 10 points clear at the LaLiga summit, require six more victories to mathematically seal their sixth title since 2011.
The irrepressible Messi notched a late double on Saturday as Ernesto Valverde's side secured a seventh straight win across all competitions and maintained local bragging rights with a 2-0 defeat of rivals Espanyol in the Derbi barceloni.
Injured trio Ousmane Dembele, Jasper Cillessen and Rafinha will all miss the trip to Villarreal, which comes shortly after closest challengers and weekend opponents Atletico Madrid host Girona at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.
The Yellow Submarine, lying just one place and one point above the drop zone, are at a low ebb after throwing away an early two-goal lead in a 3-2 loss to relegation rivals Celta Vigo last time out, but will hope to catch Barcelona with their eye off the ball ahead of a big month that also includes a two-legged Champions League quarter-final affair against Manchester United.
Despite those sizable upcoming games, Valverde insisted that his team attach "great importance" to the meeting with Villarreal and that there was "no suitable scenario" for resting key talisman Messi.
