Barcelona visit the Estadio de la Ceramica this weekend and will be looking to Lionel Messi, as they always do at this stage in the season. After scoring twice against Getafe in midweek, Messi now has 25 goals for the season and leads the Pichichi charts.

In third place on the goalscorer rankings is Gerard Moreno, as he has 20 goals so far in LaLiga Santander this season. He'll be leading the Villarreal attack in this Sunday afternoon showdown.

It's not just with his goals that Gerard Moreno has been effective. The former Espanyol man has only had one match this calendar year in which he hasn't finished with at least one goal or one assist.

Villarreal may have a Europa League semi-final against Arsenal coming up on Thursday, but Unai Emery knows that they still need to collect points in LaLiga Santander. The Yellow Submarine have fallen down to seventh after a couple of surprise losses against Osasuna and Alaves and will want to return to the Europa League next year, not the new Conference League.

Barcelona's motivation is obvious, as they are right in the thick of the title race and they'll look to make the most of Real Madrid's Saturday night slip-up against Real Betis, while also putting the pressure on leaders Atletico Madrid ahead of the Rojiblancos' Sunday night fixture in Bilbao.

Fresh from winning the Copa del Rey and earning a big 5-2 win over Getafe in midweek, Barcelona will take to the pitch with confidence at the Estadio de la Ceramica.

They're missing the injured Miralem Pjanic, Martin Braithwaite, Philippe Coutinho and Ansu Fati, but have welcomed back Ousmane Dembele to their matchday squad. He might not start in their 3-5-2 system, but he's an option if needed for Ronald Koeman and his coaching staff.
