Barcelona will again have to make do without Lionel Messi when they face Getafe this afternoon.
The Argentine picked up a thigh strain in the win over Valencia and no timescale has been given for his recovery.
Barca will be looking for only their fourth win of the season when they travel to Madrid, with Ernesto Valverde under increasing pressure.
Getafe, meanwhile, are winless in four but have lost just once this term.

Team news
Lionel Messi and Ansu Fati are both out of Barcelona's trip to Getafe in La Liga on Saturday.
The Argentine attacker came off at half-time in Barca's 2-1 win at home to Villarreal on Tuesday night and has an adductor injury, the club revealed, while the 16-year-old forward has been ruled out with a tendon problem and will take no part at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez.
With those two out, Carles Perez is back in the squad, having been excluded for the game against Villarreal. The 21-year-old signed a two-year extension to his contract on Friday and is an option for the right side, but Ousmane Dembele is in line to feature after he returned from injury as a substitute against Villarreal.
Predicted XIs
Getafe: Soria; Suarez, Dakonam, Cabrera, Nyom; Fajr, Maksimovic, Arambarri, Cucurella; Mata, Molina
Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Semedo, Pique, Lenglet, Firpo; Busquets, De Jong, Arthur; Dembele, Suarez, Griezmann
