How Barcelona could line up against Valencia

Ahead of Saturday's La Liga encounter between Barcelona and Valencia, Sports Mole looks at how Ernesto Valverde's side could line up at Camp Nou.

Barcelona head into their La Liga showdown with Valencia on the back of a 6-1 victory over Sevilla in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday night.

Ernesto Valverde opted to name a strong side with Barcelona trailing 2-0 from the first leg, and the Catalan giants were majestic as they earned a place in the semi-finals.

Barcelona have also claimed eight successive wins in La Liga, with a total of 23 goals being scored since the start of December.

Valverde has a strong squad to choose from this weekend, and here Sports Mole looks at how Barcelona could line up at Camp Nou.



Out: Sergio Busquets (suspension), Rafinha (knee), Samuel Umtiti (knee), Ousmane Dembele (ankle)

Philippe Coutinho is likely to keep his place in the starting lineup, with the Brazilian having netted twice in the demolition of Sevilla.

However, there will be a change in midfield due to the suspension of Sergio Busquets, and that could lead to the trio of Arthur, Ivan Rakitic and Arturo Vidal being selected.

Nelson Semedo and Sergi Roberto are both competing for a place at right-back, although the latter may drop down to the bench having been given the nod on Wednesday evening.

The rest of the team should be as expected with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez featuring in attack, but Rafinha, Samuel Umtiti and Ousmane Dembele are all still injured.
