Sports Mole looks at how Barcelona could line up in Saturday's La Liga clash with Celta Vigo.

Barcelona head coach Xavi could make two changes to his starting side for Saturday's La Liga clash with Celta Vigo, as the reigning champions bid to return to winning ways.

Ronald Araujo was surprisingly an unused substitute in the 3-3 draw with Granada last time out, but the Uruguay international is expected to come back into the starting side for this weekend's contest.

Fit-again Raphinha featured off the bench, meanwhile, having overcome a muscular problem, and the Brazilian could now be in line for a position in the final third of the field.

Barcelona will have to make a late check on the fitness of Oriol Romeu, who has been dealing with a knee issue.

Meanwhile, Ferran Torres (thigh), Joao Felix (ankle), Sergi Roberto (Achilles), Alejandro Balde (hamstring), Marcos Alonso (back) and Gavi (knee) remain unavailable for selection.

There will be a return to the squad for Vitor Roque, though, with the youngster missing out against Granada last time out through suspension.

Lamine Yamal netted a brace in the 3-3 draw and should again support Robert Lewandowski, with Pedri expected to drop back into a midfield area to allow Raphinha to also feature in the final third of the field.

Andreas Christensen and Pau Cubarsi are likely to be the players to drop down the bench for this game.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Kounde, Araujo, I Martinez, Cancelo; F de Jong, Gundogan, Pedri; Yamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha
