After suffering a shock defeat against Celtic in the Champions League, Barcelona will look to get back to winning ways when they travel to struggling Real Mallorca in the La Liga.
Barca, despite having the lion's share of the possession, went down 2-1 to an inspired Celtic side; however when it comes to the La Liga, there is no better team currently, with the league leaders three points clear of Atletico Madrid and eight ahead of archrivals Real Madrid.
Barcelona manager Tito Vilanova said his side would concentrate on the good things at Celtic and try to take things from there against Mallorca.
"We are concentrating on what we did well (against Celtic), on the things we can do better and on preparing the match against Mallorca," Vilanova said. "(Mallorca manager Joaquin) Caparros always makes things difficult for us.
"It's never an easy place to go. With Athletic Club he was the first coach to put pressure on us in our own half. They won't make it easy for us to build moves. They'll probably look to put the ball over the top of the defence because they've got pace up front."
Despite making a return to training on Friday, Sunday's game comes too early for Carles Puyol. "In principle he won't make the trip to Mallorca," Vilanova added. "Physically he's fine but it may be a bit too soon so we'll wait another week."
Gerard Pique, however, is set to make his first start since September.
Caparros said he would try to take a leaf out of Celtic's book when it comes to combating Barcelona. "We need to play the perfect game, both defensively and offensively, and that is always a big task," he told Mundo Deportivo. "A good performance will not be enough, it has to be perfect.
"Celtic's goalkeeper put in an outstanding performance in midweek, then they reached Barca's area twice and scored twice, they were efficient and clinical. We need to do just that.
"Barca will not be thinking about previous results, their performance will not depend on the last game. Barca try to win every game and will not be brought down by what happened a few days ago."
Mallorca will be without former Barca player Giovanni Dos Santos, with Nunes, Joao Victor, Antonio Lopez and Javi Marquez all ruled out.
