Barcelona will be looking to continue their charge towards the La Liga title when they host Madrid minnows Rayo Vallecano this weekend.

As it stands, Barca have a seven-point lead over second-placed Atletico Madrid at the summit, while they are also chasing Copa del Rey and Champions League glory.

Ernesto Valverde's side beat Real Madrid in the league last weekend to move onto 60 points, and that victory came three days after a 3-0 success away to Los Blancos in the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final.

The Catalan giants will host Lyon next Wednesday in the second leg of their last-16 Champions League tie, which is level at 0-0 following the reverse game in France.

Their immediate attention will be on this weekend's clash with Rayo, though, and Sports Mole has taken a look at how the Spanish champions could line up against the capital outfit at Camp Nou.

Out: Rafinha (knee), Thomas Vermaelen (muscle), Clement Lenglet (suspended)

The fact that the Lyon match is on the horizon will be on Valverde's mind when it comes to team selection, but the majority of the squad have not played since the clash with Madrid last weekend.

Barca did suffer a 1-0 defeat to Girona in the Catalan Super Cup on Wednesday night, but it was a much-changed XI, with perhaps only Samuel Umtiti starting from what is considered their strongest side.

Umtiti should keep his spot on Saturday due to Clement Lenglet's suspension, while Rafinha and Thomas Vermaelen are the team's only absentees when it comes to injury.

Arthur is back to full fitness following injury and the Brazilian should start in the middle of midfield.

Meanwhile, Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi and Ousmane Dembele should start as the front three, meaning that Philippe Coutinho will be named on the bench once again as the Brazilian continues to struggle for his best form.

The only other big call will come at right-back as Valverde chooses between Nelson Semedo and Sergi Roberto.
