FC Barcelona Possible Line-up Vs Granada
Barcelona start a very big week of football on Saturday with a La Liga match against Granada at Camp Nou, looking to win a third straight league match. Over the next eight days, Barça face Granada, Manchester City away from home and Sevilla at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, and the Catalan giants need good results in all three matches to go into the international break in a good position, both in Spain and in Europe.
Luis Enrique rested all of his biggest stars in the Catalan Super Cup against Espanyol, and Lucho probably plans to use all of them in the next three matches. With eight players currently injured, he has very little choice when it comes to who plays right now, even against last-place Granada.
Marc-André ter Stegen is back in goal, and with Sergi Roberto, Javier Mascherano, Big Sammy Umtiti and Lucas Digne the only healthy defenders in the squad, the back five is set. Sergio Busquets and Ivan Rakitic will play forever, and that happens again on Saturday. To complete the midfield, two options: Denis Suárez or André Gomes, with Rafinha Alcântara and Arda Turan unlikely to play because of injury. Gomes is having a very good season, and despite a poor performance against Valencia, he could use a game against Granada to rebound.
Up front, the 'MSN' would start even if they had played against Espanyol, and since they got a three-day vacation to rest and go to Disneyland (seriously), they'll be more than fresh to face Granada, City and Sevilla without any trouble.
So this is the probable formation to face Granada on Saturday:
Preview: FC Barcelona v Granada
This Saturday at 8.45pm CET FC Barcelona will play their next league fixture against Granada at the Camp Nou. It’s matchday ten in La Liga season 2016/2017. Having scored 15 goals in the last four matches in La Liga, Barça look to continue their October form and chase down Real Madrid and Sevilla at the top spots.
Granada on the other hand has been by far the worst team in La Liga. Only three points in nine matches, and Granada is still without a win this season. After their 7-1 blowout against Atletico, they also account for the worst defense in the league with 23 goals against.

Team news
Inuries are currently piling up for Barça as Alba, Cillessen, Iniesta, Mathieu and Pique are all out for this match. This leaves only Umtiti and Mascherano as CB’s in the squad. With the decisive Champions League match next week, don’t be surprised if Barcelona B starlet Marlon will be called up and starts to rest Mascherano.
Granada is set to miss Uruguayan international Gaston Silva due to a muscle injury. Also Foulquier will be out with an injury. Lucas Alvarez must be expected to start with a defensive tactic, keeping his 7-1 debut loss against Atletico in mind.
Match Prediction
Barça win with at least a margin of 3 to 0.
