Guardiola's side takes on Tenerife while Pellegrini's team plays Mallorca
MADRID: It has been a stuttering start to the new year from all-conquering Barcelona and the treble winners hope for their first win of 2010 on Sunday at promoted Tenerife.
Barcelona were let off the hook last weekend when their 1-1 home draw against Villarreal went unpunished - as Real Madrid drew 0-0 at Osasuna - so they still hold a two-point lead over their rivals but confidence was dented further by Tuesday's 2-1 Kings Cup first leg defeat to Sevilla at Camp Nou.
