"Securing a routine 3-1 victory at home against Alaves, the former Bayern Munich boss has seen his squad skyrocket their way back to the top of the La Liga table. With their sights set on defending their domestic crown this season, Barca are enjoying what has become a major La Liga flurry. Marking their return from November's international break with a 4-0 romp against Athletic Bilbao, Tuesday's hosts have won each of their last four straight top-flight showdowns by an aggregate score of 14-4."
"Undergoing knee surgery back in September, Barcelona will once again be unable to call upon Spanish international Gavi on Tuesday night. However, despite missing out against Alaves over the weekend, Flick's side are hopeful that Ronald Araujo will be able to play some part in Catalonia. Opening the scoring on Saturday and already registering 12 direct goal contributions in his first 10 La Liga appearances this season, Lamine Yamal will play a leading role in the final third."
Barcelona return to Catalonia after a 3-0 Champions League loss but responded with a 3-1 La Liga win over Alaves and a 4-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao. Barcelona have won each of their last four league matches by a combined 14-4 and have won eight of nine home fixtures in Catalonia this season. Gavi remains sidelined after knee surgery, Ronald Araujo is hopeful to feature, and Lamine Yamal has 12 direct goal contributions in ten La Liga appearances. Marcus Rashford could be recalled after a season-long loan. Atletico Madrid produced a 2-0 home win over Real Oviedo.
