Preview: Getafe - Barça(Click Here)


Finally we are back in action tomorow against Getafe who by the skin of their teeth remaind up last season. We have Andres Iniesta back in the team after his injury and viral problems this summer and Rafa Marquez has also been given medical clearance to play but has been left out of the squad. New boy Dmytro Chygrynskiy was included and could very well make his debut inplace of Marquez.

We face a very tricky Getafe side who are riding high after their 4-1 win against Racing.We will need to watch out for striker Roberto Soldado who will be full of confidence from scoring a hat trick against Racing.

Barca requested that this game be moved forward in order to better prepare for Inter, despite having almost our entire first team away on international duty this week.With so many players coming back from international duty we are likely to see a weaken team. We are likely to play without Lionel Messi and Daniel Alves who only arrived back from South America on Friday but could play a sub-role.

The game tomorrow promises to be tight one but I believe we could come out with all 3 ponits.Last season we often suffered after an international break mostly gaining draws but this season Pep looks like he has a master plan and with players like Keita and Pedro playing as well as they are we can surely win this game.

Getafe manager Michel might retain the side that won so convincingly away to Racing.
Probable Starting XI
Ustari
Cortes-Diaz-Rafa-Mane
Rios-Parejo-Celestini-Adrian Gonzalez

With Bojan still out and Messi given rest Pep might give Pedro his chance to start so im going with this Probable Starting XI

Puyol-Chygrynskiy-Pique-Maxwell
