Luis Enrique expecting tough Malaga test

By , Football Editor
Barcelona boss Luis Enrique expects a tough test when his team travel to Malaga in La Liga on Saturday afternoon.

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has claimed that Malaga are a team that 'always pose problems' ahead of their La Liga clash at the weekend.

The Catalan outfit have won 17 of their last 20 league games against Malaga, but they have only scored twice in their last three meetings with the Andalusian side.

Malaga also recorded a 1-0 win when the two sides met at Camp Nou in the league last season, and Enrique is expecting a tough test on Saturday afternoon.

"Javi Gracia is meticulous when it comes to detail. Malaga are a team who always cause us problems," Enrique told reporters.

Barcelona would regain first position in the La Liga table with all three points from the match, for which the Spanish giants will welcome Lionel Messi back from a hamstring problem.
