Third-placed Villarreal have played some of the best football in Spain this season and should provide Barcelona with one of their toughest tests in La Liga when they visit the Camp Nou on Saturday.
"It's usual to see Real and Barca fighting for the title but this year there isn't such a difference compared to third place," Villarreal's Brazilian striker Nilmar told the club website.
"We have (an attacking) style of play that we shouldn't change. Everyone will be watching this game and if we can do things well people will start to appreciate our work."
Champions Barca are two points ahead of Villarreal after ten matches, and one short of unbeaten leaders Real Madrid, who they host in the first 'clasico' of the season a week on Monday.
They will be without suspended Gerard Pique and injured Gabriel Milito at the back, which could open the door for a youth team player or perhaps France full back Eric Abidal to partner Carles Puyol in the centre of defence.
