Barcelona will be bidding to return to make it back-to-back wins in La Liga when they welcome Rayo Vallecano to Camp Nou on Sunday night.

The Catalan giants recorded a 1-0 victory over Real Sociedad on Thursday, which has left them in second position in the table, 15 points behind leaders Real Madrid with a game in hand.

Xavi's side are level on points (63) with third-placed Sevilla, meanwhile, but are crucially six points ahead of fifth-placed Real Betis with a match spare.
