Team news

Inigo Martinez is expected to return soon, but you are unlikely to see him back on the team on Sunday.
Potential FC Barcelona XI: Szczesny; Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsi, Balde; Casado, Pedri; Yamal, Gavi, Rafinha; Lewandowski.
Alaves: Antonio Sivera is not available as he is still recovering from his injury until Abdel Abar will be stopped after receiving a yellow card in the last home game against Celta Vigo.
Potential Alaves XI: Ovono; Tenaglia, Mourino, Diarra, M Sanchez; Guevara, Benavides; Vicente, Gurids, Horses; Kike Garcia.
Prediction
A Flick country is expected to win easily as they should get some points after a difficult start of the year. Choice: Barcelona 3, Alaves 0.
