-Deportivo Alaves: Zou Feddal and Nenad Krsticic (injured). Match Facts:
FC Barcelona (2nd, 6 pts):
- Last season's top scorer, Luis Suarez, has picked up right where he left off last term: putting the ball in the back of the net. The Barcelona number 9 has scored nine goals in Barcelona's last three LaLiga games at the Camp Nou.
- Barça have an excellent home record against Basque teams when it comes to the league competition. The Catalan club have won 25 such matches in succession, keeping clean sheets in 15 of them.
Alaves (11th, 2 pts):
- A last-gasp leveller at the Calderon and a stalemate at Mendizorroza against R. Sporting have given Mauricio Pellegrino's men a lift on their return to the top flight. They head to Barcelona for their third game of the season intent on repeating their success in 2000, the last time that they won at the Camp Nou (1-0).
- The team's motivation is the biggest weapon in their armoury for their trip to Barcelona. Fernando Pacheco, the Albiazules goalkeeper, confirmed as much in the pre-match press conference: "At the Camp Nou we need to believe in ourselves and give our all."
