FC Barcelona welcomes Villarreal from 6:30 p.m. as part of the 22nd day of La Liga. After a gong victory last week against Betis Sevilla (4-2), Barça will try to continue this Saturday in front of their home crowd. The Catalan club is currently 3rd in the championship and must at all costs keep up with the leaders. Opposite, Villarreal are lagging in 14th place and have not won away in La Liga since October 30. This meeting can be followed live with commentary on the French Football Weekly website.
In terms of team compositions, Xavi remains faithful to his 4-3-3. The Catalan coach decides to give Fort a chance as left back rather than Cancelo. In midfield, Romeu is preferred to Pedri to accompany Gündogan and De Jong. Finally in attack, Yamal and Lewandowski are present and it is Joao Felix who will start on the left wing rather than Ferran Torres. On the other side, Marcelino lines up exactly the same eleven as in the last match played against Mallorca.
