BARCELONA POTENTIAL STARTING LINE-UP AGAINST EIBAR...

Everything you need to know ahead of the Catalans' trip to Ipurua in La Liga this weekend...
Barcelona travel to Chelsea in the Champions League on Tuesday, but the league leaders are in action away to Eibar first in the Primera Division on Saturday.
Ernesto Valverde's side will have one eye on their European game at Stamford Bridge, scene of one of the club's most famous nights as they earned a dramatic late draw to advance to the final en route to the treble in 2008-09.
Barca could only draw at home to Getafe last weekend in a rare goalless game at Camp Nou, but still lead La Liga by seven points with Atletico in second and Real Madrid 17 adrift (with a game in hand) in fourth place.
Here's a look at everything you need to know ahead of Barca's trip to Eibar on Saturday...

BARCELONA INJURIES


Gerard Pique is back from injury after sitting out the game against Getafe, while Thomas Vermaelen is doubtful. If the Belgian makes it, coach Valverde will have a fully fit squad at his disposal for the game in the Basque Country.

BARCELONA SUSPENSIONS


Samuel Umtiti was suspended for the game against Getafe, but the France defender is back for this one and Valverde has no other players banned this weekend.

BARCELONA POTENTIAL STARTING LINE-UP


With the possible exception of Vermaelen, Barca boss Valverde will have all of his players available this weekend and the 54-year-old is set to field a strong side against Eibar.
Pique and Umtiti are back from injury and suspension, respectively, and should both feature in central defence.
Andres Iniesta and Philippe Coutinho could both start in midfield, although the Spain star may be kept in reserve for Tuesday night's Champions League clash away to Chelsea.
