Madrid: Humiliated European champions Barcelona can bounce back from their midweek 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Celta Vigo when Las Palmas visit the Camp Nou on Saturday.
Barca’s 100 per cent start to the league campaign was brought to a spectacular end on Wednesday as high-flying Celta inflicted upon them their heaviest league defeat since 2008.
Luis Enrique’s men slipped down to fifth in the process, yet they have an immediate opportunity to move back to the top of the table for a few hours at least on Saturday with Real Madrid, Celta, Villarreal and Atletico Madrid all in action later in the day.
Cristiano Ronaldo will aim for Real Madrid’s all-time goalscoring record once more at home to Malaga later on Saturday.
Ronaldo has been held scoreless in his last two outings as he stands just two goals short of Raul Gonzalez Blanco's 323-goal record.Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez, Danilo and Sergio Ramos will again be missing for Real, while Pepe is also a doubt.
Atletico boss Diego Simeone rotated his squad for Tuesday's 2-0 win over Eibar and they will face Benfica and Real Madrid after their visit to Villarreal.
