- Arda Turan and Aleix Vidal are both available for the home side, after serving their period of ineligibility.
- The Turkey international should start in midfield, while the latter could be rotated into the side for Dani Alves at right-back.
- Sergi Roberto is carrying a knock, with Jordi Alba and Gerard Pique possibly set to be rotated out of the side after recent cup action.
- Luis Suarez has been awarded a two-game ban for his involvement in an altercation in the tunnel after Barcelona's 4-1 win over Espanyol, but his suspension only stands for Copa del Rey matches.
- Cristiano Biraghi returns from a ban and should slot in at left wing-back for the visitors.
- Diego Mainz and Doria could feature as part of a three-man central defensive line, as Granada look to grind out a result at Camp Nou.
- Adalberto Penaranda and Isaac Success are expected to lead the attack, with the two youngsters in good form of late.
how did vidal do at RB didn't catch the game today
@MSNfirepower Yeah decent, just a good centre, didn't do much, Granada was attacking by his side, so he had to defend a lot.
@MSNfirepower decent
Turan plays like he's been escaped from Simeone to train with Messi for years.
@MSNTREBLETREBLE When he was very young, he stated playing in Barca is his dream with "best of all time Messi" and "his idol Iniesta". Of course he enjoys it now.
Roberto great player!
Bravo deserves to be in the UEFA team.
And this move by Messi was just great. What a player :o Great 4th goal!!!
76th minute and Messi hasn`t got a dribble yet ! This is really rare stuff ...
