Following a stellar defensive display against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey semi-finals first leg that resulted in a 0-1 win, Barcelona will take on Valencia in the league, hoping to maintain their lead at the top of the table.

Barcelona are still without three of their best players in the squad. Robert Lewandowski misses out after picking up a hamstring strain in training before the Madrid clash. He is expected to be back not before next weekend.

Ousmane Dembele and Pedri are also sidelined are will likely only return to the green for the Real Madrid clash scheduled for 19th March.

Andreas Christensen picked up some ankle discomfort ahead of El Clasico, and was on the bench for the tie. He is in the squad for the Valenica game, as well, and is expected to return to the starting lineup.

With two forwards out of the team dynamics, Xavi has called up Barcelona Atletic wingers Estanis Pedrola and Angel Alarcon.
