How Barcelona could line up against Huesca

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Barcelona could line up in Monday's La Liga clash with Huesca.

Barcelona will be looking to keep up the pressure on La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid when they resume their domestic campaign at home to Huesca on Monday night.

Ronald Koeman's side, who were knocked out of the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16 on Wednesday, will again be without five players through injury for this game.

Gerard Pique, Ronald Araujo, Sergi Roberto, Philippe Coutinho and Ansu Fati are all still absent, meaning that Koeman will have a similar squad to the one that took on PSG.

The head coach is expected to resist the temptation to make wholesale changes as Barca are currently second in the table, six points behind leaders Atletico Madrid, but the gap could be nine points by the time that they take to the field for this contest.

Samuel Umtiti could return to a three-man defence, with Frenkie de Jong moving forward, which would allow Sergio Busquets to have a rest in the middle of the park.

Trincao, Miralem Pjanic and Martin Braithwaite are also options for change, but Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembele should keep their positions in the final third of the field.

There is again speculation surrounding the future of Lionel Messi, with the attacker allegedly heading for crunch contact talks with new president Joan Laporta.

The Argentine scored and then missed a penalty in Paris on Wednesday night, and he will once again feature in the final third of the field for the title hopefuls.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Mingueza, Lenglet, Umtiti; Dest, Pedri, De Jong, Alba; Griezmann, Messi, Dembele
