Possible lineups for Las Palmas v Barcelona fixture

That loss was part of a turbulent spell for the Catalans, but they have regained stability and will be determined to avoid another setback as they chase La Liga's top spots.

Las Palmas, however, have proven to be a tough opponent for Spain's elite. Not only did they stun Barcelona at the Montjuic Stadium, but they also held both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid to frustrating draws in recent weeks. Their strong defensive organisation and ability to exploit counter-attacks make them a genuine threat once again.

By the time Flick's men take to the pitch, Atletico Madrid could have already leapfrogged them in the table as Diego Simeone’s side face Valencia earlier in the day. Meanwhile, Real Madrid, currently leading the title race, will take on Girona on Sunday in a crucial battle at the top.

With the pressure mounting and little room for error, Barcelona must show their resilience and quality against a disciplined Las Palmas side. A victory would not only avenge their earlier defeat but also keep them firmly in the hunt for silverware as the season enters its decisive phase.

Las Palmas possible lineup: Cillessen (GK); Rozada, Suarez, Pelmard, Marmol; Loiodice, Bajcetic; Sandro, Munoz, Moleiro; McBurnie.

Barcelona possible lineup: Szczesny (GK); Kounde, Araujo, I Martinez, Balde; De Jong, Pedri; Raphinha, Gavi, Yamal; Lewandowski.
