Barcelona take on Mallorca on Saturday evening as Quique Setien’s resume their pursuit of the Spanish title.

Barca are currently two points clear at the top of La Liga, despite a turbulent campaign that has seen Ernesto Valverde sacked and public disputes between players and the board.

Lionel Messi is expected to start the fixture, having been cleared after an injury scare that saw him miss training earlier this week.
