Team News

Barcelona
Granada
  • Ilkay Gundogan and Ferran Torres are both injured, throwing more flames on to the Barcelona injury crisis. Fermin Lopez should replace Gundogan in midfield.
  • Andreas Christensen was used in the hole in midfield in the 3-1 win over Alaves and could be utilised again by Xavi in the Granada match.
  • With nine players out injured, Xavi will have to make use of his scarce resources at home this weekend.
  • Both Gonzalo Villar and Kamil Piatkowski are suspended and will not play.
  • Facundo Pellistri made his debut in the Las Palmas draw last weekend and could feature again against Barcelona.
  • Lucas Boye should return up top for some well needed goals for Granada in this crucial fixture.

Prediction

  • Barcelona welcome Granada to the east coast on Sunday evening for a significantly important fixture for both teams. The reverse fixture ended as a draw in Granada thanks to a Bryan Zaragoza masterclass, a key player who has moved on to Bayern Munich in January.
  • An unlikely victory for Granada is vital as they currently sit eight points away from safety, needing to come away with a decent performance to build momentum for the Almeria six-pointer next weekend. Barcelona need a victory to keep Atleti off their heels for now.
  • Having beaten Alaves 3-1 last weekend, Barcelona should face an easier job here.
