Barcelona find themselves five points adrift from La Liga leaders Real Madrid when they travel to Osasuna on Sunday.
As Xavi's men eye their third straight league win, it was heartening to see Robert Lewandowski break his duck of the new season in the 4-3 victory over Villarreal last weekend, with Ferran Torres scoring in back-to-back games as well.
Osasuna can also register their campaign's third win in La Liga after a 2-1 win at Valencia the last time out. Los Rojillos were last involved in a 2-2 draw against Clube Brugge, but losing 4-3 on aggregate in Europa Conference League play-offs.
