Real Madrid's entertaining 3-3 draw against Rayo Vallecano on Saturday means Barcelona will not relinquish top spot in La Liga. This way they can extend their lead on Sunday evening with a victory over Leganes.
After a grueling midweek win at Borussia Dortmund, Hansi Flick is likely to make changes to his squad for the match at the Estadi Olimpic. According to Sport, the likes of Pau Cubarsi, Pedri, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha will be rested, with starts expected for Ronald Araujo, Frenkie de Jong, Ferran Torres and Fermin Lopez.
Leganes will be looking to bounce back from their 3-0 defeat to Real Sociedad last weekend, with former Barcelona youngster Adri Altimira expected to return to the starting line-up. Juan Cruz is also at the start.
Barcelona are heavy favorites to win this one and they should have more than enough quality to beat Leganes even if significant changes are made to their lineup. However, it is not a done deal.
