Levante vs. Barcelona - Preview , available players,prediction, team news, lineups, kick - off time ,Barcelona without a key player for the clash
Barcelona will look to make it seven La Liga wins in a row when they resume their domestic campaign against a struggling Levante side on Sunday night.
The Catalans are currently second in the table, 12 points behind leaders Real Madrid, with eight games remaining, while Levante are 19th, six points out of 17th place.
Team Progress Reports
Shkodran Mustafi, Martin Caceres, Roberto Soldado, Dani Gomez, Oscar Duarte, Jorge de Frutos, and Carlos Clerc are all injured for Levante.
Caceres' injury, sustained during the win over Villarreal, will allow Ruben Vezo to play in the middle of a back three, but the rest of the lineup may remain unchanged.
Morales scored twice against the Yellow Submarine and should be joined in a front two by Roger Marti, with Nemanja Radoja, Pepelu, and Gonzalo Melero expected to play central midfield.
Due to injuries, Memphis Depay, Ansu Fati, Sergino Dest, and Sergi Roberto will be unable to play for Barcelona.
Meanwhile, Gerard Pique suffered a groin injury against Frankfurt and is expected to miss the game, so Dani Alves could return to the starting lineup at right-back, with Ronald Araujo shifting across to the middle.
In the middle of the park, Frenkie de Jong is expected to replace Gavi, while Ousmane Dembele is expected to start ahead of Adama Traore in a front three.
Xavi will have one eye on the second leg with Frankfurt next week, but is unlikely to shuffle his pack, so Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba, Ferran Torres, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are all expected to start.
