How Barcelona could line up against Levante

Sports Mole looks at how Barcelona could line up for Saturday's La Liga clash with Levante.

Barcelona will be looking to record just their fifth La Liga victory of the season when they welcome Levante to Camp Nou on Sunday night.

Ronald Koeman's side suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Cadiz last weekend and are currently down in ninth position in the table, some 12 points behind league leaders Atletico Madrid.

The Catalan side also lost 3-0 at home to Juventus in the Champions League on Tuesday, although they had already booked their spot in the knockout round of the European competition.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how Barca could line up this weekend.

Barca will again be without the services of Ousmane Dembele, Ansu Fati, Gerard Pique and Sergi Roberto through injury, but the team did not pick up any fresh issues against Juve.

The majority of the XI that started against the Old Lady are again expected to take to the field here, with fit-again Ronald Araujo likely to keep out Oscar Mingueza at the back.

There is expected to be a change in midfield, though, with Sergio Busquets potentially coming in for Miralem Pjanic, while Trincao could drop out for Philippe Coutinho.

Koeman also has a decision to make in the final third, with Martin Braithwaite pushing for a start, but Antoine Griezmann could ultimately get the nod through the middle, allowing Pedri to feature in a wide area.

There remains speculation surrounding the future of Lionel Messi, but the Argentine will be in the starting side on Sunday and will be looking to add to the four La Liga goals that he has managed this season.
