Barcelona visit Mestalla as LaLiga leaders before kick-off. A draw could keep them alone at the summit, and a win would confirm it.

Valencia had failed to win any of the previous 11 league meetings with Barcelona, drawing two and losing nine, before a 3-1 victory in May.

That result arrived after Barcelona had already sealed the title and had nothing riding on the game.

In the 21st century, Valencia have managed consecutive league wins over Barcelona only once, two triumphs between 2002 and 2003.

Valencia seek another positive result, while Barcelona aim to remain top.
