Luis Suarez, the Barcelona striker, is expecting a difficult match against a struggling Espanyol side.

"The derbies are always difficult. You have to be very careful. Espanyol are in a delicate situation and with the level of players that they have,"  Suarez said.

"They don't deserve to be where they are now. It's a beautiful game and we all like to play it."

The last league meeting between Sociedad and Barcelona was on the 30th of March 2019.
 
Barca ran out 2-0 winners in a match which was played at Camp Nou.
