With a four-game winning streak and a newly acquired La Liga lead, Barcelona will visit Eibar. A team that is on fire goes on a visit
Messi, Neymar and Suarez seem to have found the chemistry fans expected to see from the MSN. Messi just needed 12 minutes of magic to score his 32nd hat-trick for Barcelona against Rayo Vallecano. Suarez scored two more goals and Neymar also played a vital role in Los Cules 6-1 win
Neymar recently compared Barcelona’s top three strikers as the best ones around. Their good performances have been vital to overtake Real Madrid, who they now lead by one point.
Dani Alves won’t be able to play, as he will serve a one-game suspension. The good news is that the defender will be available for next week’s El Clasico. Sergio Busquets injury against Villarreal is not expected to heal until after the game against Madrid.
Eibar has lost seven games in a row and is just three points ahead from those teams in the relegation zone. It was in their game against Cordoba, when the team earned its last point in a 1-1 draw.

For Saturday’s game at Municipal de Ipurua, Dani Garcia is the local team’s biggest absence, as he has to fulfill a one game suspension. Didac Vila, with a muscle strain, will be a last minute call by manager Gaizka
Eibar must shoot for at least a draw and pull further away from the relegation zone. With a win, Barcelona would secure another week in the lead of La Liga. Bets give Barca an advantage, but can Eibar deliver a shocking surprise?
