Out-of-form Barcelona are seeking a return to winning ways in midweek when they take on Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley Stadium in the Champions League.
The Spanish champions have collected just two points from the last nine on offer in La Liga, allowing Real Madrid - themselves far from flying - to close the gap at the top.
Barca cruised to a 4-0 win over PSV Eindhoven in their opening Group B fixture a fortnight ago, however, and they now have a chance to put further distance between themselves and the chasing pack.
Ahead of Wednesday night's clash in the English capital, Sports Mole looks at how Ernesto Valverde could set out his side.
Barcelona will make the trip to London without a couple of key defenders, as Sergi Roberto was forced off in the 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao and Samuel Umtiti is both suspended and injured.
Nelson Semedo will therefore continue to operate at right-back, while Clement Lenglet and Gerard Pique will likely get a chance to continue their central-defensive partnership.
Having failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last five games, conceding eight goals in that time, Valverde may opt to tinker with his attacking setup at Wembley.
Using Arturo Vidal at the expense of Ousmane Dembele is one option, but elsewhere Barca are expected to have a familiar look about them, with Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets almost certain to be recalled from the off after being rested at the weekend.
