On Saturday, Barcelona travel to the ground of newly-promoted Getafe in order to extend their perfect start to the new season.

Before their visit to the Coliseum Alfonso Perez, Barcelona sit four points clear of rivals Real Madrid at the top of La Liga table.

Ernesto Valverde will take nothing for granted after the Madrid team claimed their first win in the top flight on Friday: 'Getafe are a good side who are very aggressive in defence and so they are a very good test for us'.

Paco Alcacer returned to training after being sidelined due to illness, while Arda Turan and Rafinha Alcantara will be out for the busy week ahead.

Getafe coach Jaime Bordalas was delighted after his side earned all three points against Leganes: 'The Barcelona game comes at a good moment for us, and we are very much motivated to face this match', he said.

Getafe v Barcelona potential lineups:

Getafe: Guaita, Damián Suárez, Cala, Antunes, Djené, Markel Bergara, Amath Ndiaye, Arambarri, Fajr, Shibashaki and Jorge Molina.

Barcelona: Ter Stegen, Digné, Mascherano, Piqué, Sergi Roberto, Busquets, André Gomes, Paulinho, Messi, Dembelé and Luis Suárez.
