Barcelona vs Celta Vigo
La Liga 2018/19
Venue: Nou Camp
Date: Saturday, 22 December, 2018
Kick-off time: 5:30pm
Barcelona will look to tighten their grip on top spot in La Liga in their final match before the winter break against Celta Vigo.
Ernesto Valverde’s side sit three points clear at the top – three clear of Sevilla and Atletico Madrid.
With both their nearest rivals expected to win this weekend against opposition in the bottom 10, the champions will want to ensure their three-point cushion is intact over Christmas.
Team news
Barcelona have just two fit centre-halves available in Gerard Pique and Clement Lenglet – prompting the club to agree a deal to sign Valencia’s Jeison Murillo on loan in January.
