Barcelona 1-0 Espanyol LIVE! Latest score, goal updates, team news, TV and LaLiga match stream today

Barcelona vs Espanyol LIVE!

Barcelona can put the pressure back on Real Madrid as champions host rivals Espanyol in el Derbi Barcelonés tonight.

Barca sit four points behind LaLiga leaders Real Madrid with four games left, and Real's superior head-to-head record means they would have to drop five points for Barca to stand any chance of winning the title.

Real's next game comes against Alaves on Friday, so Barca can temporarily close the gap to a point with a win at Camp Nou.
