Luis Enrique will be without Neymar thanks to an ankle injury but while he's a definite loss for Barca, they should have more than enough talent to overcome. Pedro seems the most likely candidate to start on the left wing, though Munir or Andrés Iniesta could play there as well. Having Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez on the front line should help whoever starts get some space and opportunities.
Getafe have been struggling of late with their last league win having come all the way back on Halloween. While they remain out of the relegation battle, if they don’t start picking up points soon, they could find themselves near the bottom coming the new year.
Barcelona are unbeaten in their last seven against Getafe, scoring 27 goals in the process.
