Midfield
Barcelona will dearly miss their best man in the midfield. Andres Iniesta has picked up a calf problem in the last game it requires rest to recover. In such a crucial game, the Catalans needed him badly.
However, it means Ivan Rakitic gets the nod in the midfield alongside Andre Gomes.
Rafinha also has a slight strain in his right leg and is a major doubt for the game, which makes the midfield duo above more or less a surety. The anchor position will be taken by Sergio Busquets as usual.
Attack
With Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez all fit, there is not a possibility of any player getting a nod in the attack.
Although in glimpses, the trio has started showing their coordination once again, after individual injuries have repeatedly thwarted them from playing together.
While both Messi and Suarez has 14 goals and 5 assists each so far in the season, Neymar has four goals and seven assists.
