Preview: Barcelona vs. Granada

Barcelona return to La Liga duty from this week's Champions League exploits with a home clash against Granada this weekend.

Barcelona will hope to continue their unbeaten run in La Liga when they take on Granada at the Nou Camp this weekend.

Tito Vilanova's side return to league action following a tough 3-2 win over Spartak Moscow in the Champions League earlier this week.

The former La Liga champions will have to cope with the loss of defender Gerard Pique, who is expected to be sidelined for up to three weeks with an ankle injury.

Alex Song should start in his place, while Lionel Messi, Cristian Tello and Alexis Sanchez are expected to lead the line in a forward three formation.

Meanwhile, Granada are likely to field strikers Darwin Machis and Antonio Floro Flores for the clash, despite the pair sustaining minor injuries last week.

Recent form:

Barcelona: WLWWW
Granada: LLDLD

Possible lineups:

Barcelona: Valdes; Alves, Song, Mascherano, Alba; Xavi, Busquets, Fabregas; Tello, Messi, Sanchez

Granada: Tono; Nyom, Lopez, Gomez, Siqueira; Iriney, M Rico; Torje, Orellana, El-Arabi; Floro Flores
