Madrid - Barcelona are keen to stay well on top of the Spanish Liga by winning away to modest Getafe on Saturday.

Barca are currently six points ahead of dogged pursuers Real Madrid, and will go to Getafe in good heart after Tuesday's creditable 1-1 draw away to Bayern Munich which put them in the European Champions League semi-finals.

Josep Guardiola's team picked up no injuries in Munich. They have a fully fit squad for the first time this season due to the return to fitness of Gabriel Milito, Eric Abidal and Yaya Toure.

However, they will be returning to the "scene of the crime" on Saturday, with a sense of foreboding and trepidation.

Two years ago Barca astonishingly crashed 4-0 in Getafe in a memorable King's Cup semi-final, and last season they lost 2-0 in the tiny Coliseo Alfonso Perez.

"It will be a difficult game," said Barca captain Carles Puyol. "We will have to take the game just as seriously as (that) in Munich."

Later on Saturday, Real will be away to Recreativo Huelva, who are third from bottom.

Real have won 3-2 on their last two visits to Huelva.

They have won 14 out of their 16 league games since Juande Ramos took over as coach from Bernd Schuster in December, and have halved Barca's lead from 12 to six points.

Real defender Pepe said that "we were dead until the arrival of the new coach (Ramos).

"Now we are a strong team, with players in a good moment, and we hope to continue like this until the end of the season."

Also on Saturday, sixth-placed Atletico Madrid are at home to lowly Numancia, while Malaga take on Mallorca and Athletic Bilbao face Deportivo La Coruna.

The big game on Sunday is between fourth-placed Valencia and third-placed Sevilla.

Valencia will be hoping to keep ahead of troubled local rivals Villarreal, who have slipped to fifth in recent weeks.

Villarreal - tired and depressed after Wednesday's 3-0 Champions League thrashing by Arsenal - are away to tricky Valladolid. They will again by without injured Spain midfielders Marcos Senna and Santi Cazorla, who were both badly missed in London.

Sunday's other games are bitter relegation battles. Bottom team Espanyol are at home to Racing Santander, Osasuna are away to Almeria, Betis face free-falling Sporting Gijon. (dpa)
