Barcelona v Huesca - Preview and possible lineups

TEAM NEWS:

Barcelona: The 'Azulgranes' will miss Sergi Samper, Denis Suarez and Carles Aleña who are all ruled out, but other than that they should have a full strength squad to pick from, and new Brazilian addition Arthur Melo is tipped to make his first start of the season. 

Huesca: Manager Leo Franco will have a full set of players from which to choose. 

Valverde: "Huesca are undefeated after visits to two tough stadiums like Ipurúa and San Mamés and have gotten good results based on their own merit. They will stand up to us and be looking to surprise us, because they’ll be coming into the game with enthusiasm."

Franco: "We are going into a game against a major opponent and it is one of the most difficult games of the year. But we are also going to play with 11 players and we go there with a lot of faith and confidence, and with realism, knowing what we can do well and that we have to do it perfectly.”
