Barcelona travel to Atletico Madrid with the intention of extending their lead at the top of the La Liga standings. In what will be the most-awaited match of the weekend, the Catalan club will take on the inconsistent capital side. In the title race, Real Madrid slipped on Saturday when they lost away to Villarreal. It opens the door for Barcelona to extend its lead at the top of the table, however, it will not be easy against a well-drilled Atletico Madrid side.

Atletico are sitting fourth in the standings with 27 points from 15 games. However, they have won only one of their last four league matches. It is this inconsistency that will provide Barcelona with plenty of confidence heading into this contest. Sitting at the top of the standings, Barcelona are level on points with second-placed Real Madrid (38). A win on Sunday night could help the Catalan giants move clear at the top of the table.
