Barcelona host Getafe in La Liga on Sunday looking to keep their nine-point lead at the top of the table intact.

Getafe are comfortably clear of the relegation places thanks to their recent 3-1 win over Deportivo la Coruna and could put themselves into European contention with a win.

For Barca, the only injury concern aside from the long-term absentee Eric Abidal is Xavi, who is not expected to recover in time to play.

Getafe have a few injury concerns persisting while Miguel Angel Moya and Rafa Lopez are suspended.
