Barcelona and Villarreal face off in La Liga at Camp Nou on Saturday. Barcelona maintains an unbeaten home league record with 12 consecutive wins, sitting one point above Real Madrid after defeating Levante 3-0. Villarreal, in third place nine points behind Madrid, earned their second straight league victory with a 2-1 win over Valencia. Barcelona will be without several key players: Andreas Christensen and Jofre Torrents are injured, Gerard Martin is suspended, and midfielders Frenkie de Jong and Gavi are sidelined. Ferran Torres replaces Lewandowski in attack, while Fermin Lopez covers for De Jong. Villarreal faces their own injury concerns with Juan Foyth, Logan Costa, Willy Kambwala unavailable, and Gerard Moreno missing due to a thigh muscle issue.
