The Catalan outfit will also enter the match off the back of a huge result in the Champions League, beating Borussia Dortmund 4-0 in the first leg of their quarter-final on Wednesday night.
As for Leganes, the visitors ended a three-game losing run last time out when they drew 1-1 at home to Osasuna.
