Overview
Barcelona suffered their heaviest defeat in La Liga this season against Celta Vigo at Balaidos, with goals from Nolito, Iago Aspas and John Guidetti giving the Galicians a 4-1 victory in September. Luis Enrique's side are on a seven-match winning run at the Nou Camp and are on a club record 29-game unbeaten run in all competitions.
Enrique has no fresh injury concerns. Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar should all return to the starting line-up after being rested in midweek against Valencia.
Celta Vigo were knocked out of the Copa del Rey by Sevilla in midweek, losing the semi-final tie 6-2 on aggregate. The Galicians beat Barcelona 1-0 in their last visit to the Nou Camp in November 2014.
Iago Aspas, Sergi Gomez, Fabian Orellana and Theo Bongonda are all out through suspension for the visitors, while Andreu Fontas (achilles) is injured.
What managers say
Luis Enrique: "What interested me was to give the majority of the minutes to the reserve players, and that's why we played with that system [against Valencia]. We played without a No 9 too, with [Ivan] Rakitic as a playmaker. I'm happy with the way my players competed."
Eduardo Berizzo: "The big mistake was in the move that led to the 2-1, but beyond that I think my players should be very proud of how they played this game [against Sevilla]. We could have got back into the tie if we had not committed those two errors that led to their goals."
