Barcelona, currently leading La Liga, will face a challenging test in their upcoming Catalan derby against Espanyol on Sunday, November 3rd. The match, taking place at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium, kicks off at 4:15 p.m. CET (10:15 a.m. ET, 7:15 a.m. PT).

Under new manager Hansi Flick, Barcelona have enjoyed a strong start to the season, including notable wins over Bayern Munich, Alaves, Sevilla, and Real Madrid. A victory in this derby could extend their lead at the top of the table to a massive 9 points, as Real Madrid is not playing this weekend.

Espanyol, currently in 17th place, are struggling this season. However, they come into this derby after a 4-0 win over San Tirso in the Copa del Rey.
