FC Barcelona and Granada CF face off in the sixth round of Liga BBVA. The Andalusian side do not know what it feels like to win at the Blaugrana’s ground, despite having played there on 20 occasions. The home side will look to continue and return to the top of the table following their draw last time out against Málaga CF.
Team news
Luis Enrique’s men will be without long-term absentees Jordi Masip and Luis Suárez, in addition to Rafinha for this game. Meanwhile Joaquín Capparós will be without injured midfielders Daniel Larsson and Rubén Rochina.
View from the dugout
Luis Enrique seemed cautious before hosting Capparós’s side, saying “Granada are a hard working opponent, with ability from set pieces and a very strong defence”. Also, the man from Asturias added he “needed” all of his players. Granada’s boss said that he was hoping to avoid two consecutive defeats, following the 0-1 loss to Levante three days ago.
