Barcelona vs Villarreal
LaLiga 2019-20
Venue: Camp Nou
Date: Tuesday 24th September, 2019
Kick-off time: 8pm BST
Barcelona are under real pressure to get a win on Tuesday night as the Spanish champions welcome Villarreal to Catalonia.
By Barcelona's standards, they have started the 2019-20 season terribly with two defeats in their first five La Liga games - though Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid have failed to take advantage with dropped points of their own.
Ernesto Valverde has little room for error and any further setbacks could make his position at Camp Nou untenable, making Tuesday's match a must-win.
Barcelona team news
Barca starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Semedo, Pique, Lenglet, Junior; Busquets, Roberto, Arthur; Messi, Suarez, Griezmann
Subs: Neto, Todibo, De Jong, Arturo Vidal, Alena, Dembele, Ansu Fati
Prediction: Barcelona 4-2 Villarreal
Predicting a Barcelona scoreline this season is becoming increasingly sketchy, and Tuesday night's game will be no picnic for the Blaugrana - especially as Villarreal sit a point above them in the table.
Still, Barca's troubles have come on the road this term and they remain imperious at Camp Nou, so expect a home win with a few goals.
