MADRID (Reuters) - Luis Enrique's Barcelona will get to test their King's Cup final opponents ahead of time on Saturday when they travel to fellow finalists Alaves in La Liga - but they may have sore legs after playing five games in the last 13 days.

Liga leaders Real Madrid, who have a one-point lead in the table and two games in hand, play at Osasuna in the Saturday night game, well rested after two weeks with no fixtures.
