Barcelona make the short trip across town to take on city rival Espanyol on Thursday. Having edged a seven-goal thriller with Real Madrid at the weekend and moved seven points clear of second place, Barcelona are within a whisker of clinching the La Liga title.

Barcelona fans might not need to lace up their boots - or even switch on their TVs - to celebrate tonight. Yes, that's right. The Catalan giants could be crowned La Liga champions today without kicking a single ball.
