Barcelona will close out 2014 as they welcome Córdoba to the Camp Nou on Saturday. The Blaugrana took out their frustration from last weekend's scoreless draw against Getafe with an 8-1 thumping of Huesca in the Copa del Rey. Now they'll try to end league play on a high note and close the gap on first place Real Madrid in the process.

While Neymar didn't practice for Barca on Thursday, the medical staff has given his injured ankle the all clear, making him available for the match. Luis Enrique may not force the Brazilian right back into action though, as allowing him to play some minutes in the second half and then ensure he's healthy come January might be a better priority. Dani Alves remains doubtful as well with a hamstring injury.
Córdoba’s first top flight season in 42 years has been a struggle but that isn’t a huge surprise. They’ve taken four points from their last two matches, but remain in the drop zone, a place they’re likely to be in or around most of the season.
