The top three sides in La Liga are fixed with easy games for the weekend as Barcelona welcomes Las Palmas, Real Madrid hosts Getafe as Atletico Madrid tackles Real Valladolid.
Recovering from recent setbacks against Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo, Barca defeated Brest 3-0 during the week.
The Hansi Flick’s would hope to return to winning ways, gathering momentum from the Champions League win.
The Catalans also will be welcoming Lamine Yamal back to the team. The teenager missed the last three weeks with an ankle injury.
Also, Alejandro Balde returns at left-back, while Frenkie de Jong and Ferran Torres are also available for coach Hansi Flick.
Coming back from a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool on Wednesday, Real Madrid faces struggling Getafe at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti would be hoping to avoid any slip, in order to match up with league leaders, Barcelona.
Meanwhile, Getafe has a dreadful record in the Santiago Bernabeu, but the absence of Eduardo Camavinga, Eder Mlitao, Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, David Alaba and Aurelien Tchouameni, could hamper Madrid.
The form of Kylian Mbappe is another worrisome issue for Los Blancos, despite featuring in his favourite position against Liverpool.
However, the Frenchman could redeem himself against Getafe, in the absence of Vinicius.
Atletico Madrid will be facing bottom side, Valladolid, having thrashed Sparta Prague 6-0 in the Champions League.
Diego Simeone’s men will be confident of another win from the short trip to Real Valladolid.
Valladolid will be without head coach Paulo Pezzolano, who was suspended in their lost to Getafe, last week.
Stuck at the bottom of the league, Pezzolano’s side should be wary of Julian Alvarez, who is looking to have found his feet at Atletico.
