The Blaugrana side is desperate to go back to winning ways, but facing the Yellow Submarine may not be as easy as it seems.

What is Barcelona and Villarreal's form's form ahead of this match?

Barcelona makes it to this game with only two wins out of their last six games, with both of them taking place at Camp Nou Stadium. The team's most recent clash ended in a 2-0 loss against Granada, which capped quite a bad week for Los Culés, as they only nabbed one point out of the six they played for, considering their goalless draw against Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League.

Villarreal enters this clash on a two-win streak. The Yellow Subamarine claimed wins against Leganés and Real Valladolid, and they did so without conceding a single goal. Levante's only loss came in one of their games away from home, when Levante beat them with a 2-1 score on Matchday 2.

What position do Barcelona and Villarreal occupy prior to this game in La Liga?

Barcelona makes it to this game in eighth place of the Spanish top-flight, following their dubious start of the season. Los Culés have won the same amount of games they have lost (2), while the other one concluded in a 2-2 draw. Their two wins have come while playing as hosts, and both of them with similar scorelines (5-2 vs Betis and Valencia).

Villarreal will travel to Camp Nou in seventh place. The Yellow Submarine was off to a slow start, drawing two out of their first three games, but they seem to have settled down after those two straight wins we mentioned lines above. Villarreal has played two road games this season, winning one (vs. Leganés) and losing the other (vs Levante).

Barcelona vs Villarreal - Who's in and who's out

Coach Ernesto Valverde will have to make do without three key players, as Jordi Alba and Samuel Umtiti have been ruled out due to injury. Ousmané Dembelé may be fit enough to earn a few minutes, while Ivan Rakitic will have to watch this game at home after being left out of the squad for this matchup.

On the other side of the pitch, coach Javi Calleja will have to deal with the absences of Bruno Soriano, Alberto Moreno and Ramiro Guerra.
