Barcelona are back on La Liga duty on November 30 as the Catalan giants host Las Palmas.
Hansi Flick’s side secured a 3-0 midweek UEFA Champions League win over Brest to move up into third place in the overall league phase rankings after five games played.
However, their league form has stuttered either side of the November international break with just one point picked up from two games in domestic action.
That has seen their title lead cut to four points, ahead of second place Real Madrid, with Carlo Ancelotti’s defending champions also having played a game less.

The big news for Flick and the home fans is the expected return of 17-year-old superstar Lamine Yamal following a three-game absence due to an ankle issue.
The Spain international has missed just three league matches since the start of the season – with Barcelona failing to win in any of them – as a firm reminder of his key role in the team.
Reports from Diario Sport indicate he is now fully recovered, and should start, with Ferran Torres also back in contention for the hosts.
Marc Casado misses out due to a one-game ban, after being sent off in last weekend’s 2-2 draw at Celta Vigo, with Ansu Fati, Ronald Araujo, Marc Bernal and Andreas Christensen all still sidelined.
Barcelona predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Pena (GK) — Kounde, Cubarsi, Martinez, Balde — Pedri, De Jong, Gavi — Lamine Yamal, Lewandowski, Olmo.
Injured: Fati, Araujo, Bernal, Christensen.Suspended: Casado
Las Palmas head to Barcelona in their strongest run of form this season with three La Liga wins in their last five outings.
That streak of results has also included two away wins, with victories on the road at Valencia and Rayo Vallecano, but they have lost their last four away games at Barcelona.
Diego Martinez could tweak his starting team, but Wolves loanee Fabio Silva and former Barcelona goal keeper Jasper Cillessen are both expected to start.
Las Palmas predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Cillessen (GK) — Viti, Suarez, McKenna, Munoz — Campana, Moleiro, Essugo — Rodriguez, Silva, Fuster.
