#3 Barcelona's midfield crisis
With Andres Iniesta seemingly out of the high-profile clash due to a hamstring injury he suffered while playing against Atletico Madrid, Barcelona face a midfield crisis of sorts right now.
Trending
Philippe Coutinho is cup-tied in the UEFA Champions League. Given he has already represented Liverpool this season in the competition, he misses the clash.
Denis Suarez is also out of contention due to a muscle strain. The probable Barca midfield trio will feature Ivan Rakitic and Sergio Busquets, with probably the inconsistent Andre Gomes filling in for the Barca captain.
Will the absence of star players such as Iniesta and Coutinho affect Barcelona's game plan and the final result?
