Barcelona v Villarreal - Preview and possible lineups
We take a look ahead to Wednesday's La Liga match between Barcelona and Villarreal at the Camp Nou.
Barcelona: Sergi Roberto will miss the match after picking up a straight red card against Real Madrid on Sunday while Lucas Digne is a doubt. With the title already wrapped up, expect some big names to be rested.
Villarreal: Bruno Soriano, Leandro Suarez and Ramiro Guerra are all sidelined with knee injuries and will therefore play no part.
Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde:
"Villarreal are a team that is having a great season. We aren't going to lose sight of our objective to win".
Villarreal manager Javier Calleja:
"They have already won the league and Copa del Rey, so we know what awaits us. What is important is what we can do and to be at our best level.
"I expect a very motivated Barcelona, I imagine they will want to close the league without losing.
