Barcelona are back in La Liga action against Villarreal on Thursday in a game that Xavi’s side really need to win after disappointments against Real Madrid and Inter.
Xavi is still without a host of injured players for this one and is expected to shake up his starting XI in a bid to get Barca out of their “negative dynamic.”
Villarreal head to the Camp Nou with a great defensive record, having only conceded three goals this season. However, Unai Emery’s side have also failed to win any of their last four La Liga games and have failed to score in any of those matches either.
