Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Villarreal

Barcelona will be looking to make it back-to-back La Liga victories under new head coach Xavi when they head to Villarreal on Saturday night.

The Catalan giants recorded a 1-0 victory over Espanyol in the league last weekend, with Memphis Depay's second-half penalty proving to be the difference between the two sides.

Barcelona will enter the match off the back of a disappointing result in the Champions League, though, having been held to a goalless draw by Benfica at Camp Nou.
