Barcelona can go one step closer to reclaiming the Spanish title with a win at Getafe this weekend.
La Blaugrana currently sit 13 points clear at the top of La Liga with only ten games left to play.
Out of both the UEFA Champions League and Copa del Rey, Xavi and his side can focus solely on wrapping up their first league triumph in four years.
Their next task sees them make a trip to the capital to face Getafe, who are mired in a relegation scrap with some of Spain’s other major clubs.
Getafe team news
Star midfielder Mauro Arambarri could make his return from a muscle injury to face Barcelona on Sunday.
Veteran striker Jaime Mata is unlikely to shake off a muscle injury in time, though La Masia graduate Munir El Haddadi could feature.
Getafe predicted lineup vs Barcelona
(5-3-2): Soria; Suarez, Djene, Alderete, Duarte, Portu; Maksimovic, Milla, Munir; Mayoral, Unal
Barcelona team news
Xavi will be without four key men for the trip to Getafe.
Pedri is continuing to nurse a hamstring problem, as is Frenkie de Jong, leaving them a little light in midfield.
Ousmane Dembele is once again on the sidelines with a muscle problem, and Andreas Christensen is still a few weeks away from returning.
Barcelona predicted lineup vs Getafe
(4-3-3): Ter Stegen; Kounde, Araujo, Garcia, Balde; Busquets, Gavi, Kessie; Raphinha, Lewandowski, Torres
