Following their midweek dismantling of English Premier League leaders, Manchester City, FC Barcelona returns to La Liga action tomorrow when they travel down the coast to take on Valencia CF at the Mestalla. Traditionally, a trip to Valencia ranks amongst the toughest fixtures on the domestic calendar; Los Che are typically fighting it out for a European berth each season, and the Mestalla is a tough venue for away teams to visit.
However, after selling a plethora of key players over the summer, including Barcelona signings Paco Alcacer and Andre Gomes, Valencia have struggled to find their form this season and even at this early stage of the campaign, they have already gone through one managerial change.
