SD Huesca vs Barcelona
LaLiga 2018-19
Venue: El Alcoraz
Date: Saturday, April 13, 2019
Kick-off: 3.15pm GMT
Barcelona need at most four wins from their final seven games to clinch another LaLiga title and are fully expected to secure one this weekend.
They travel to bottom club SD Huesca just three days after a 1-0 win at Old Trafford in the Champions League and could barely have picked a more welcome trip between the Manchester United double-header.
Lionel Messi suffered a facial injury on Wednesday but Barcelona have ruled out any injury-induced absence and could well start on Saturday.
Huesca vs Barcelona team news and predicted line-ups
Ernesto Valverde has already said it is "quite possible" he will rotate given Barcelona's European committments.
Philippe Coutinho, Malcom, Alena and Arthur should all come in after failing to start at Old Trafford. Messi, and his cut nose, should also keep his place with Luis Suarez suspended. Gerard Pique is also banned.
Barcelona XI: Ter Stegen, Semedo, Pique, Umtiti, Roberto, Alena, Rakitic, Arthur, Malcom, Messi, Coutinho
Score prediction: Huesca 0-2 Barcelona
A rotated team should still have few problems in northern Spain. Huesca haven't won since a surprising victory over Sevilla in early March and expect that winless run to continue on Saturday.
