Villarreal vs Barcelona in LA LIGA: Xavi’s Barcelona aim top 4 spot as Cules travel to Villarreal – Follow Live Updates: Barcelona will be on the road once again as they take-on Unai Emery’s Villarreal at Estadio de la Ceramica, Xavi’s men would be desperate to win in order to move up the table.

Currently out of the Champions League spots, Barcelona sits in 7^th place with just 20 points from 13 games. After getting off to a winning start against city rivals Espanyol, Barcelona stumbled midweek against Benfica in the Champions League, the match ended 0-0, with Barcelona failing to find the back of the net. Barcelona’s draw puts them in a very precarious situation and the Catalans could go out of the Champions League if they fail to beat Bayern Munich on Matchday 6.
