The visitors are currently fourth in the table, just two points behind third-placed Real Betis with a game in hand, while Espanyol occupy 13th, three points behind 10th-placed Celta Vigo.
Espanyol will be without the services of Oscar Gil this weekend through suspension, while Fernando Calero is an injury doubt for the home team.
The White and Blues will be boosted by the return of leading goalscorer Raul de Tomas, though, with the centre-forward available once again following a suspension.
Tonny Vilhena was on the scoresheet in the defeat at Athletic last time out and should retain his spot in the final third of the field, while Javi Puado and Oscar Melendo are also expected to keep their positions.
As for Barcelona, Dani Alves will miss the match through suspension, while Samuel Umtiti, Ansu Fati, Sergi Roberto and Alejandro Balde are on the sidelines through injury.

Aside from Alves, it could be the same side that took to the field for the first whistle against the reigning champions, with Frenkie de Jong featuring alongside Pedri and Sergio Busquets in midfield.
