Watch Barcelona vs Valencia live stream Online February 19, 2012
Barcelona playmaker Xavi Hernandez is suffering from a calf problem and is unlikely to start Sunday's Primera Division clash with Valencia.
Sergio Busquets is expected to feature, having completed the full 90 minutes in the midweek Champions League win at Bayer Leverkusen, while Javier Mascherano and Dani Alves are both suspended.
Also expected to start is defender Gerard Pique, who was left out of the team to play Leverkusen for "technical reasons".
Mali midfielder Seydou Keita has returned from the Africa Cup of Nations, while Ibrahim Afellay has started training again following a serious knee injury that sidelined him for most of the season.
Valencia boss Unai Emery is set to welcome back David Albelda, Ever Banega and Roberto Soldado to the starting line-up, after the trio were rested on the bench for the Europa League victory at Stoke City.
Winger Jordi Alba (flu) is a doubt for the Camp Nou clash, while Sergio Canales and Antonio Barragan are also out.
Barcelona will be looking to build upon Tuesday’s comfortable win tomorrow when they play host to Valencia in a fixture that has almost become a weekly occurrence for Pep Guardiola’s team. The result isn’t entirely important with regards to the title race, after all, by the start of play tomorrow I expect Barcelona to be 13 points behind Real Madrid, but a loss would cut the gap between second and third to five points. More importantly, it would hand all the momentum to third-placed Valencia. Losing out on the league is expected at this stage, but falling down to third would be a full-blown disaster.
Barcelona vs Valencia live :
Barcelona have won 10 and drawn one of their league fixtures at Camp Nou in the current campaign, scoring 45 goals and conceding just three in those matches.
The Catalan giants have not lost a competitive match at Camp Nou since a 2-0 league defeat to Hercules in September 2010.
With 23 goals to his name, Barcelona's Lionel Messi (pictured) is the second-highest scorer in the Primera Division this season, four behind Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo.
Valencia are on a five-game winless streak away from home in the league.
The coastal club are yet to record a win over Barcelona under Unai Emery.
