Morales, de Frutos and Melero’s strikes inflicted a 11th loss of the season on Elche and their 2nd in three matches.
With that defeat, Elche dropped to 14th in the league table with 29 points from 26 matches.
On the other hand, Barcelona’s unbeaten run continued with a 4-0 home win over Athletic Club last time out, being their third in succession across competitions.
Aubameyang, Dembele, de Jong and Depay found the net for the Catalan side as Barcelona cemented the 4th spot in the table.
With Atletico in 5th due to goal difference, Barcelona needs to maintain this consistency to keep their top 4 hopes alive.
They have been playing exceptionally in recent week and look a rejuvenated bunch under Xavi.
Both sides last met in December, where Barcelona won 3-2 at home.
