Getafe vs. Barcelona: Predicted XI for Azulones in La Liga affair

Will Mayoral start? How Getafe could line up against Barcelona

Getafe are set to have Borja Mayoral at the tip of their attack for Saturday's La Liga clash with Barcelona.

The 27-year-old has had his injury problems this season, but the striker netted off the bench against Las Palmas in the league last weekend, and he is now likely to be introduced into the XI.

Getafe will be without the services of Diego Rico and Alvaro Rodriguez through suspension, with the pair both receiving red cards in the team's 1-0 success over Pontevedra in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday night.

Meanwhile, Yellu Santiago, Allan Nyom and Juan Berrocal are doubts for the home team and will require late fitness tests.

Head coach Jose Bordalas will make changes to the side that started against Pontevedra in the Copa del Rey last time out, with Djene Dakonam, Omar Alderete and Carles Alena set to come into the XI alongside Mayoral.

Coba should continue in a wide position for the home team, but there will be a change between the sticks, with David Soria set to return.

Christantus Uche has caught the attention with a number of impressive performances this season, and there is expected to be a spot in the final third of the field for the 21-year-old, who was linked with Chelsea earlier this season.

Getafe possible starting lineup: Soria; Dakonam, Duarte, Alderete, Iglesias; Alena, Milla, Arambarri, Coba; Uche, Mayoral
