As the race to the Spanish title intensifies, it will be Barcelona who once again will be up in action to face Celta Vigo. The Catalans are on level terms with arch nemesis Real Madrid as they both have 68 points each. A win for Barcelona over Celta Vigo should once again push them to the top which would also put the pressure back on Madrid. Barcelona managed to scrape a 1-0 win to Bilbao at home thanks to an Ivan Rakitic goal the last time around and will be hoping for a better and more comprehensive performance later tonight. Meanwhile, Celta Vigo occupy the 16th spot in the league with 33 points on board and are on the back of a 1-0 away win to Real Sociedad. That being said, they will be eager for points and can even pounce on the fact that Barca will be under heaps of pressure as they look for maximum outcome by the end of 90 minutes.

Venue- Municipal de Balaidos
Celta Vigo
Okay Yokuslu has gone through his suspension and could line up at the middle of the park for the home team. Hugo Mallo sustained an injury and is in doubt to start here. Kevin could be used as the wing-back, meanwhile, Denis Suarez and Rafinha should play in support of Iago Aspas who should be in charge of the attack.
Barcelona
Senior midfielder Sergio Busquets misses out here due to an accumulation of yellow cards, which could make way for Arturo Vidal to anchor midfield. Ivan Rakitic score the winner against Bilbao and should be named on the team sheet yet again alongside Arthur. Luis Suarez, Leo Messi and Antoine Greizmann are the ideal front three for the visitors.
