Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Valencia could line up against Barcelona in La Liga on Sunday.

Valencia will be looking to win in La Liga for the first time since March 21 when they welcome Barcelona to Mestalla on Sunday night.

Los Che, who are currently down in 14th position in the table, are expected to have a full complement of players available for this weekend's contest with the title hopefuls.

Thierry Correia is their only slight doubt with a knee problem, but the defender is expected to shake off the issue, which could see Daniel Wass push forward into a midfield position.

Jasper Cillessen is available following a spell on the sidelines with a knee problem, but it seems likely that Jaume Domenech will again feature between the sticks for Javi Gracia's side.

The head coach is expected to resist the temptation to make wholesale changes from the team that disappointedly drew 1-1 at home to Alaves last weekend.

Denis Cheryshev could be back in the starting XI, though, which might see Goncalo Guedes pushed forward alongside Maxi Gomez, with Kevin Gameiro dropping down to the bench.

Yunus Musah would likely be the player to drop out if Correia returns, but there are not expected to be alterations elsewhere, with Carlos Soler and Uros Racic set to continue as the midfield two.

Valencia possible starting lineup: Domenech; Correia, Paulista, Guillamon, Gaya; Wass, Soler, Racic, Cheryshev; Gomez, Guedes
