    Cadiz v Barcelona (20:00 BST)

    These sides have not met in 14 years. Ronaldinho was the matchwinner in their last meeting back in April 2006.

    The last time Cadiz beat Barca was 1991, a 4-0 victory! Ronald Koeman played that day.

    Lionel Messi has only played them once before. Could they become the 38th La Liga team he has scored again?

  8. 'Barca players are fired up'published at 19:55 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2020

    Cadiz boss Alvaro Cervera: “From my point of view, Barcelona are in their best shape of the season. I look at them and see a lot of players who are fired up.

    "Griezmann, Dembele, Braithwaite… they are all fired up. As a team they are playing with more intensity than they were before.

    "And then there's Messi, which is a situation all of its own because he is the best in the world.

    "Barca put four past Osasuna in their last game and they are a side that always put up a fight."

    Despite the fact Cadiz are above Barcelona, they are two teams in opposite runs of form.

    Barcelona have now won six of their last seven games in all competitions as they recover from a poor start.

    And promoted Cadiz have won once in the past five games. Admittedly their two defeats in that run have been against the top two - Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad.
