Barcelona will look to take another step towards securing second place in La Liga when they face Celta Vigo at Camp Nou on Tuesday.
A dramatic finish last time out saw Barça snatch a win over Real Betis on Saturday as Jordi Alba netted an injury-time winner following Ansu Fati's earlier strike.
Here's the side manager Xavi may pick to take on Celta.
GK: Marc-Andre ter Stegen - Missed the weekend's victory at Real Betis due to illness but will hope to have recovered to retake his starting position from Neto.RB: Dani Alves - Set up the winner for old buddy Alba to score the winner against Betis and should feature again here.CB: Ronald Araujo - With Gerard Pique sidelined, Araujo is the senior centre back and will need to coach the more erratic Garcia through the game.CB: Eric Garcia - Has looked sketchy since rejoining Barça from Manchester City in the summer but has still started 22 La Liga games this term.LB: Jordi Alba - A goal and an assist at Betis shows Alba's attacking threat is not diminishing even at 33 years of age.CM: Gavi - Has racked up three bookings in his last four games, showing Barça's midfield hardly lacks bite.CM: Frenkie de Jong - With Sergio Busquets suspended, the onus falls on De Jong to dictate the tempo of Barça's play. His performance levels have soared since Xavi's appointment.CM: Riqui Puig - Busquets' aforementioned absence should open the door for Puig to start. Has been left behind by Barça's other midfield prodigies but is still only 22 himself.RW: Ousmane Dembele - Has rediscovered his creative form since speculation over his future in January. Has 11 league assists this season, the joint-best record alongside Karim Benzema.ST: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - May be entrusted to lead the line, having appeared as a substitute last time out.LW: Ferran Torres - Ansu Fati has made two substitute appearances since returning from injury - scoring most recently at Betis - but a start is still a little way off, giving Torres the left wing berth on Tuesday.
