Barcelona coach Luis Enrique will recall his front three of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez for their visit to Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday.

After resting a whole host of players against Elche in the Copa del Rey, the attacking trio will head widespread changes as the Catalan giants look to keep pace with rivals Real Madrid.

Defeat away at Real Sociedad cost Barca the chance to be sitting in first place at this stage of the season, but despite reported issues between Enrique and Messi, the Camp Nou outfit are well placed to mount a strong title challenge.

However, Enrique will be eager to improve his side's strike-rate on the road, with just 12 goals being netted in their nine fixtures.

Deportivo head into the match having recorded back-to-back clean sheets against Athletic Bilbao and Levante respectively.

Those two fixtures have seen Brancoazuis earn four points to strengthen their bid to avoid relegation back down to the second tier of Spanish football.

The trio of Helder Postiga, Luis Farina and Lucas Perez all remain sidelined through injury.
