Madrid  vs Granada 19:50 SS5    Barcelona   vs  Valencia 21:30MADRID - Cesc Fabregas’s second season back at Barcelona will be an improvement on his first, coach Tito Vilanova predicted on Saturday following the former Arsenal captain’s indifferent start to the 2012-13 campaign.Fabregas began with a bang last term after returning to his boyhood club but his form tailed off and Vilanova’s predecessor Pep Guardiola overlooked him for some key matches in the Champions League and La Liga.The 25-year-old performed well for Spain at Euro 2012 playing in a roving forward role but has yet to make much of an impression for Barca this season and watched Wednesday’s Spanish Super Cup defeat to arch rivals Real Madrid from the bench."The second year is always better,” Vilanova told a news conference previewing Sunday’s La Liga match at home to Valencia when asked about Fabregas’s form.
