Watch: Rayo Vallecano vs Barcelona, Match Review

Following a fourth consecutive Clásico defeat, Barcelona have a chance to return to winning ways in La Liga, as they take on Rayo Vallecano away from home. With just four games left until the next international break, and sitting 9th in the La Liga table, Ronald Koeman’s side need to start winning games, and fast, starting tomorrow.

Rayo enter the fixture having enjoyed a remarkably impressive start to life back in Spain’s top flight, as they sit one point above Barcelona in the table, having scored the second most goal’s in the entire division. 39-year-old coach and former Athletic Club right-back Andoni Iraola has made an impressive start to life as a manager so far.

Barcelona on the other hand come into this fixture in desperate need of three points, in order to begin climbing the La Liga table. Ronald Koeman, already under severe pressure from the Barcelona faithful, will be without Ronald Araújo, Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, Ousmane Dembélé, Martin Braithwaite and perhaps even Ansu Fati – who is a doubt for the trip to Vallecas. Kun Agüero is expected to feature, but once again, not for the full 90 minutes.
