Barcelona will square off against Sevilla on Sunday at Nou Camp, and could possibly go to the top of the La Liga table if they win and other results go in their favour.
The Catalan giants have won their last three games in all competitions, with their latest win coming against Inter Milan in the Champions League.
Ernesto Valverde has a few players out due to injuries and suspension, but the Barca team should be strong enough to get past Sevilla, who are level on points with the Blaugrana.
Clement Lenglet is suspended, and will be unavailable for selection. Valverde has growing injury concerns with regards to the Barcelona defence as the trio of Junior Firpo, Jordi Alba, and Samuel Umtiti are side-lined.
Let’s take a look at the possible lineup that Valverde may put out for Sunday night:
Goalkeeper
German goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen keep his place in between the sticks against Sevilla.
Defence
Barcelona have a few issues at the back ahead of the Sevilla game. With Lenglet and Umtiti out, Jean-Clair Todibo could be drafted into the Barcelona lineup and start alongside Gerard Piqué.
Nelson Semedo will start at left-back, while Sergi Roberto will slot into right-back, like they did against Inter Milan.
Midfield
Frenkie de Jong, Arthur, and Sergio Busquets have started the last two games, and we could see the trio start once again this weekend.
Arturo Vidal had a good game against Inter Milan when he was brought on, but it will be a surprising move if Valverde does play the Chilean right from the start.
Attack
Luis Suarez was in red-hot form against Inter Milan, scoring two goals for the Catalan giants to secure three important points for Barcelona.
The Uruguayan striker has been criticised by certain sections of the Barcelona fanbase, but he has answered them in style in the last two games.
He will start the game against Sevilla as the main striker in the Barcelona lineup, with Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann playing on the right and left, respectively. Ousmane Dembélé is an option off the bench, as is 16-year-old Ansu Fati.
