Barcelona have made an uncharacteristically inconsistent start to the new season, at least by their own high standards. Luis Enrique's men have won just six of their opening nine matches in La Liga so far, and head into Saturday's encounter with struggling Granada a couple points adrift of league leaders Real Madrid. However, they'll certainly be expecting to get back to winning ways this weekend, against a team who are yet to win a single match.

Indeed, having picked up just three points from their first nine matches, Granada are currently rock bottom of the La Liga table. They’re already five points adrift of safety, and barring a miracle are going to be dragged into a long, ugly relegation scrap this season. When you’re in their kind of form, the last thing you want is a visit to Camp Nou, and things could well get embarrassing if Granada are not careful.
Barça will be without a few familiar faces: Jordi Alba, Gerard Piqué, Andrés Iniesta, and Jérémy Mathieu are all unavailable; Jasper Cillessen and Aleix Vidal face late fitness tests. Granada, meanwhile, have only two confirmed absentees: Dimitri Foulquier and Gastón Silva are both sidelined with injuries.
