Venue: Nou Camp, Barcelona

Kick-off: 08:00 PM GMT / 03:00 PM EST

Goalkeeper
Claudio Bravo made a couple of good saves in the clash against Levante last time out and his contribution certainly proved to be very important in helping Barcelona to the three points following a sub standard performance from the team.
Now Bravo will be up against the dangerous Celta Vigo attack and the Chilean superstar will most certainly have to be at his best to keep another clean sheet on the night.
Defence
The likes of Jordi Alba, Gerard Pique, Javier Mascherano and Dani Alves were all handed rests during the midweek Copa Del Rey semi final encounter against Valencia and one should now expect the quartet to be making a return to the starting lineup this weekend.
Thomas Vermaelen, Jeremy Mathieu, Marc Bartra and Aleix Vidal all featured against Valencia last time out but they will probably have to be content with a place on the bench on Sunday.
Midfield
Ivan Rakitic surprisingly featured for the entire 90 minutes against Valencia but with Arda Turan likely to play in an advanced role this weekend, the Croatian international will most probably continue in the midfield alongside Sergio Busquets and Andres Iniesta.
Sergi Roberto has also featured prominently over the past few matches and he could be in contention to start as well this weekend.
Attack
Lionel Messi is struggling with illness ahead of the game and is likely to miss out which means Arda Turan is set to start in attack in place of the Argentine superstar.
Luis Suarez and Neymar were handed deserved rests during the midweek Copa del Rey encounter and the two will be raring to go once again when they come up against the leaky Celta Vigo backline this weekend.
Barcelona Probable Lineup: Bravo, Dani Alves, Pique, Macherano, Alba; Sergio Busquets, Iniesta, Rakitic; Turan, Suarez, Neymar
Christian bwalya says
