Ernesto Valverde has warned his Barcelona players to focus on the Eibar matchBarcelona manager Ernesto Valverde insists he is focused on ending his side's poor La Liga form at Eibar on Saturday (kick-off 3.15pm GMT), rather than Champions League opponents Chelsea. Eibar host the unbeaten La Liga leaders at the Ipurua Municipal Stadium (kick off 3.15pm) and Valverde's men boast a seven-point lead over second-placed Atletico Madrid. Seventh-placed Eibar have lost only once in 10 league games, and thrashed Sevilla 5-1 in their last home fixture. Manager Jose Luis Mendilibar will be in charge of Eibar for the 100th time in La Liga. Mendilibar has won only one of his 16 games as a coach against Barcelona in La Liga, a 3-2 victory with Osasuna in February 2012.
