Player(s) to watch:

• Raphinha is doing some great wonders this season. His exceptional skills are at the best of display. His ability to control the midfield, and tear past the defenders to score quick goals has kept Barca at the forefront.
• Former Barca, Jasper Cillessen keeper joined UD Las Palmas this season, as their first-choice. But so far it hasn’t been a pleasant spell. He played 12 games and missed two for a knee injury. In those 12, he conceded 20 goals. Yes, it wasn’t entirely his fault, he did make some saves but a cracky defense couldn’t help.
