Barcelona have the chance to go 11 points clear on top of La Liga as they take on Villarreal tomorrow night. They will be hoping to produce a special performance against former coach Quique Setien, too, who called the fixture ‘just another game’.

Sergio Busquets is missing from the travelling squad after picking up an injury against Sevilla in midweek. The Spaniard will miss a couple more fixtures, with the captain’s armband set to fall to one of Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto or Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

Ousmane Dembele is the only other player injured in the squad, but his exclusion is set to carry on for another month or so, with Raphinha taking the mantle on the right-wing.

Despite a lot of rumours regarding this future, Ansu Fati will also travel with the Barcelona squad, and is even expected to start on the left-wing tomorrow.

Alejandro Balde, Pablo Torre, Arnau Tenas, and Angel Alarcon are reserve team inclusions in this team.
