Hello everybody and welcome along to today's MARCA in English LaLiga EA Sports live blog for the Girona vs Barcelona fixture.

Bidding to bounce back from a shock Copa del Rey result, Barcelona will resume their La Liga campaign with a clash against Catalan rivals Girona on Monday night.

Hansi Flick's side sit atop the La Liga table, one point clear of second-placed Real Madrid, and will be looking to maintain their winning momentum after three consecutive league victories.

Despite their strong away record - 25 points from 12 matches - the Catalan giants enter this encounter after a humbling 4-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, leaving them with plenty to prove.

Girona, meanwhile, have enjoyed a resurgence under Michel, currently 12th in the table with six wins, eight draws, and nine losses from 23 games.

The home side have picked up just 13 points from 11 matches at Montilivi this season, though they arrive off back-to-back 1-1 draws against Sevilla and Getafe.

History also favors Barcelona, who have won their last three meetings with Girona, including a 2-1 triumph in the reverse fixture this season.

As the Catalan rivals prepare to face off, all eyes will be on whether Girona can disrupt the league leaders or if Barcelona will bounce back emphatically in La Liga.
