Sports Mole looks at how Getafe could line up for their La Liga showdown with Barcelona on Thursday evening.

Getafe manager Jose Bordalas will be forced into at least one change for his side's trip to Camp Nou to take on Barcelona in Thursday's La Liga battle.

Right-back Allan Nyom picked up his 10th yellow card of the season in the weekend's draw with Real Madrid and will sit this game out, so Damien Suarez should earn a start in the rearguard.

However, the remainder of the visitors' defence should stay the same after Djene, David Timor and Mathias Olivera played their part in a clean sheet against the champions.

Carles Alena garnered plenty of praise for his performance against Real Madrid and is ready to face his parent club, meaning another gameweek on the bench for highly-rated Japanese prospect Takefusa Kubo.

Mauro Arambarri and Nemanja Maksimovic marshalled the midfield for the entire 90 minutes against Real Madrid and are set to do so again here, while Marc Cucurella will hope to show his former club what they are missing.

Jaime Mata boasts three goal contributions from his four La Liga appearances against Barcelona, but his side have only struck 22 top-flight goals this season - one fewer than Barcelona talisman Lionel Messi.

Getafe possible starting lineup:
Soria; Suarez, Djene, Timor, Olivera; Alena, Arambarri, Maksimovic, Cucurella; Unal, Mata
