Watch: Barcelona vs Valencia, Match Preview
Barcelona return to action following the international break to take on Valencia at the Camp Nou, in a game that comes at the start of a crucial seven days for Ronald Koeman’s side. Despite a rocky start to the season, the Dutch coach has remained in charge, with the supposed support of President Joan Laporta, but must now deliver in crucial moments, with Barcelona in desperate need of victories.
Koeman will be grateful to welcome the likes of Jordi Alba and Sergio Agüero back in the fold, with the former set to start on Sunday, and the latter due to make his debut from the bench. Young starlets Ansu Fati and Pablo Gavi are both in line for starts in tomorrow’s clash, although Uruguayan defender Ronald Araújo will miss the next few weeks through injury.
Valencia, under new coach Jose Bordalás, have enjoyed a largely successful start to the campaign, and enter the fixture level on points with their opponents. However, Los Che are winless in four, and will be entering a Camp Nou that is due to be closer to full capacity, up against a Barcelona side who will be desperate to secure all three points.
