Barcelona were unfortunate to emerge from last weekend's 1-0 home defeat to Real Betis with nothing to show for their efforts, but Xavi's critics will rightly underline that victories over Espanyol and Villarreal were of the fortunate variety.
The mood inside Camp Nou darkened with the midweek Champions League exit and the Barcelona boss will be keen to allay immediate concerns in domestic action.
It could be a nervy 90 minutes for the Barcelona faithful, but they boast the quality to edge it.
