Valverde's team are preparing for the visit of Leganes, one of only two teams to have defeated Barça in the league this season

After securing their place in the quarter finals of the Copa del Rey against Levante last night, subject to the RFEF ruling in the club's favour, FC Barcelona will switch their focus to maintaining their winning run in LaLiga.

Ernesto Valverde held a recovery session this morning which invovled four academy players, including the man of the moment Chumi.

Barça are in really good run of form recently and in particular have managed to stop the flood of goals they were conceding earlier on in the season. In the last six league matches Barcelona have kept five clean sheets and only conceded a single goal.

And on Sunday they come up against Mauricio Pellegrino's Leganes. They arrive at the Camp Nou off the back of an important victory over Huesca which saw them move out of the relegation places. They are currently three points ahead of Rayo Vallecano.

Whilst the two sides appear to come into the match in contrasting forms (Leganes have only won one of their last six, Barça have won all six) the last time they faced each other it was Leganes who emerged victorious. A quickfire second half double cancelled out Coutinho's opener.

Their coach, Pellegrino, is the only one to have beaten FC Barcelona more than once in LaLiga. Leganes will look to make it as uncomfortable as possible again for Valverde's team at the Camp Nou on Sunday.
