Sports Mole looks at how Barcelona could line up in Saturday's La Liga contest with Real Betis.

Barcelona will welcome Ousmane Dembele and Andreas Christensen back into their squad for Saturday evening's La Liga contest with Real Betis at Camp Nou.

Dembele has been on the sidelines since the end of January with a hamstring issue, while Christensen has been absent since before the March international break due to a calf issue that he picked up while representing Denmark.

The pair have made excellent progress in their recoveries, though, and will be in the squad for the contest.

Sergio Busquets has also returned, with the experienced midfielder serving the suspension that ruled him out of Wednesday's 2-1 defeat to Rayo Vallecano.

However, Sergi Roberto faces a battle to return before the end of the campaign due to a hamstring issue.

Head coach Xavi is expected to make a couple of changes to the side that started last time out, with Busquets set to return to central midfield, which is likely to lead to Gavi being pushed further forward and Ferran Torres dropping down to the bench.

There could also be a reshuffle at the back, with Jordi Alba potentially coming in for Marcos Alonso, which could see Alejandro Balde switch to right-back and Jules Kounde move into central defence alongside Ronald Araujo.

Robert Lewandowski was back among the goals on Wednesday, and the Poland international, who has netted 28 times for Barcelona this season, will again lead the line for the team 11 points clear at the top of the La Liga table.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Balde, Kounde, Araujo, Alba; F de Jong, Busquets, Pedri; Raphinha, Lewandowski, Gavi
