Barcelona play host to Granada on Thursday evening with the opportunity to move to the top of the La Liga standings.

With Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid failing to win at the weekend, the Catalan giants took full advantage with a hard-fought triumph away at Villarreal.

Barca also have a game in hand and a superior goal difference, giving Ronald Koeman's team the chance to seize control of the title race ahead of facing Atletico early next month.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Barca's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their encounter at Camp Nou.
