Match facts
Leganes
The new boys in La Liga are set to welcome Jon Ander Serantes and Martin Mantovano who missed some of their most recent training sessions. Omar Ramos is expected to start from the bench and come in as a super sub thanks to his impressive display against Sporting – as a sub too.
Barcelona
Marc-Andre ter Stegen is set to start between the sticks after recovering from injury. Gerard Pique and Samuel Umtiti are expected to start at centre-back, while the trio of Sergio Busquets, Lucas Digne and Aleix Vidal are set to miss this clash after being left out of the travelling squad. As a result, Andre Gomes could start at the centre of the park.

Analysis
Barcelona went down 2-1 to another newly-promoted side Alaves last weekend in La Liga. They however bounced back from the embarrassing defeat to thump Scottish giants Celtic 7-0 in their Champions League group stage match three days ago.
Luis Enrique’s men will approach this match with caution knowing very well that a lapse in concentration could lead to yet another humiliating defeat, something they will be trying to avoid ahead of their clash with Diego Simeone’s men. And the fact that they are playing away from home this weekend makes things even tougher for them. But on paper, Los Blaugrana still stand a high chance of collecting all the three points here.
