Barcelona Team News & Preview
Barcelona host Malaga in La Liga this weekend and the Spanish champions will be looking to close the gap with arch rivals Real Madrid with a win at home.
Real Madrid take on Atletico Madrid in their game and there is a good chance of Los Blancos dropping some points. If Barcelona can pick up a win here, they could climb to the top of the table this weekend.
Barcelona have kept just one clean sheet in their last four matches and will need to improve at the back. Barcelona are back to winning ways at home after their victory over Granada and Deportivo. Prior to that, they crashed to a 2-1 loss to Alaves and a 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid.
Luis Suarez will miss out due to suspension. Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba are close to full fitness and could start. Samuel Umtiti is ruled out for a week. Andres Iniesta is the only other injury worry for the home side.
Predicted Barcelona Starting Lineup (4-3-3): Ter Stegen; Roberto, Mascherano, Pique, Alba; Rakitic, Gomes, Busquets; Messi, Alcacer, Neymar
Malaga Team News & Preview
Meanwhile, Malaga are in impressive form as well and will look to pull off an upset here.

The away side will be without some of their key players for the trip to Camp Nou.
Ignacio Camacho is suspended due to an accumulation of bookings. Weligton is out injured along with Charles, Keko, Recio and Castro.
Predicted Malaga Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1): Kameni; Rosales, Villanueva, Torres, Ricca; Llorente, Fornals; Ontiveros, Juanpi, Juankar; Ramirez
