Match Facts:
Barcelona (1st, 72 pts):
- The champions are getting closer and closer to retaining their Liga BBVA title. Luis Enrique's men haven't lost for 36 games in all competitions and need to keep that run going in order to prevent Atletico Madrid from making up ground on them.

- Neymar will be back in the fold after missing out through suspension last matchday. Munir did a fine job deputising for the Brazilian away to SD Eibar and will have done his chances of being involved in the future no harm at all.
Getafe (16th, 27 pts):
- The club from the outskirts of Madrid ended a seven-game losing streak last time out, although they were unable to claim all three points, drawing 1-1 at home to Sevilla FC.
- Fran Escriba's side could be in for a tough time at the Camp Nou. Not only are they up against opposition who have been in invincible form lately, but the visitors will be without three important players: Cala, Pablo Sarabia and Alvaro Vazquez. The reverse fixture at the Coliseum finished 2-0 to the Catalans.
