The Blaugrana went in front after just 65 seconds when Arturo Vidal headed home into the corner from Jordi Alba's pinpoint delivery.

Messi and Antoine Griezmann both had chances to double their advantage shortly after as a sharp Barca side piled the pressure on Mallorca.

The visitors gave themselves some breathing space as Martin Braithwaite fired home from close range - his first goal in LaLiga since joining from Leganes.

Barcelona lineup: ter Stegen, Roberto, Pique, Araujo, Jordi Alba, Busquets, De Jong, Vidal, Messi, Braithwaite, Griezmann

Prediction: Mallorca 0-2 Barcelona

Barca have been almost perfect at home this season with 13 wins and a draw, but are just the fifth-best team in terms of away results.

The Blaugrana have won five, lost five and drawn three away from Camp Nou - and Mallorca have only conceded 14 goals in 14 home games so far.

Barca should get the result here, but they may have to get the job done early if, as Setien fears, extra subs could harm their chances of wearing teams down late on.
