Team News

Barcelona
Eibar
  • Sergi Roberto should be preferred to Nelson Semedo at right-back for the hosts.
  • Arthur may be given the nod ahead of Arturo Vidal in the centre of midfield.
  • Ousmane Dembele has jumped ahead of Philippe Coutinho in the pecking order and is expected to continue here.
  • Ivan Ramis is a doubt for the weekend, which should see Paulo Oliveira named at centre-back.
  • Gonzalo Escalante and Pape Diop are expected to anchor the midfield to tighten things up.
  • Joan Jordan should be given license to get up in close support of Sergi Enrich.

Prediction

  • Barcelona are unbeaten in their last nine games, winning seven of them as they continue to push ahead in La Liga. They have only lost one home game in all competitions this season.
  • Eibar have drawn their last five La Liga games, with four of them coming on home soil. A defeat beckons for them here, however.

  • Messi slept through the whole game and still managed to score his 400th La Liga goal. Impressive.

  • @GioMonaldo It is remarkable really. However he really should b e subbed off more often. At 3-0 up with Messi strolling around aimlessly the sensible thing to do would be to allow younger players game time and keep him back for the UCL tests ahead which is all that really matters given Barca are going to win the Liga anyway as they do as a matter of routine.

  • @iluveverton I wish I was as positive as you about Barca winning La Liga. But about Messi, he don't need to be subbed off, you said it yourself, he was strolling on the pitch most of the time, he's basically saving his energy for more important matches while 'playing' and still having a contribution. I don't have any stats but I'm 100% sure Messi is the outfield player with the least amount of distance covered in Europe and we all know how much of an impact he has.

  • @GioMonaldo He is no need to act in Superhero Mode. Barca 's taken the lead from the starting to the end. Let's his teammates to play vital roles.

  • Barcelona 3-0 Eibar

  • Suarez on fire !

  • Barca 4-0

  • Messi hattrick folks

  • Barca will crush them. The only question is if Eibar will score or not.

  • @Gambino78 I'll be shocked if Barca do not win 4-1

  • @SeuneMilmas I will be shocked the day you are not shocked.

  • Coutinho is such a good player. Makes no sense to keep him on the bench for half of the season.

  • camp nou games have been boring recently

  • @BarcaPlsLetMeDown ok they just went up a gear

  • BARCA Ter Stegen , Pique , Rakitic , Sergio , Coutinho , Suarez , Messi , Lenglet , Jordi alba ,Roberto , Vidal

  • @nexus747 arthur in for vidal

  • Is Messi playing ?

  • @nexus747 No, he's just watching but from the pitch. Iniesta is playing in his place.

  • Coutinho is starting to make problems with Valverede and Barca are trying to bring Wiliam instead of him

  • @Cannavaro69 Someone lied to you. No one is trying to bring Willian to Barca and Coutinho is going nowhere.

  • @GioMonaldo Noone can lie to me dude, just read the recent news , they made a bid to chelsea ( $60m+ Denis Suarez )

  • Eibar will score Because Pique in the starting lineup

  • Eibar is currently on a very hot 4 draw streak so I'm going for an extremely predictable 5-5.

  • @GioMonaldo yeah right I can guarantee you Ter Stergan will have such an afternoon
