Espanyol and Barcelona face off in Catalan derby

It’s a big day for Cata­lan foot­ball today with Es­panyol host­ing Barcelona at the RCDE Sta­dium. With six home wins out of seven in all com­pe­ti­tions this sea­son, Es­panyol are in the best shape for years to take on their il­lus­tri­ous neigh­bours. Yet, a rash of three suc­ces­sive de­feats in re­cent weeks, and Barcelona keen to con­sol­i­date their lead at the head of the table, make an­other home vic­tory far from as­sured. Barça will nev­er­the­less be wary of their local ri­vals, who beat them 1-0 at home last sea­son in the Copa Del Rey.
