Barcelona vs Getafe - La Liga: TV channel, team news, lineups and prediction

Barcelona's disappointing La Liga title defence continues on Saturday afternoon when they welcome Getafe to Montjuic.

Xavi's side are eight points behind Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga table, although they have won three of their last four matches in Spain. The gap to Girona in second is just two points, so the runners-up spot is still up for grabs.

The Champions League draw at Napoli on Wednesday did little to lift spirits around the club but their fate is still in their own hands ahead of this tricky-looking domestic clash with Getafe.

The Madrid-based side are currently tenth, have lost only once in their last five games and held Barca to a 0-0 draw earlier in the season.

Here's  preview of the La Liga match on Saturday.

The fitness situation is not as bad at Barca as it has been at other points this season, but they still have four players who are out of action. Xavi is currently without young midfielder Gavi, who has become a first-team regular in recent seasons, while left-backs Alejandro Balde and Marcos Alonso are both out of action.

Joao Cancelo will deputise in the duo's absence, while Raphinha is getting back to full fitness having made substitute appearances in the last three games. Ferran Torres is out of the frame.
