Pedri still out - How Barcelona could line up against Valencia

Ronald Koeman will need to rely on back-up players as his Barca team look to take all three points from Valencia

Ronald Koeman will be praying for all three points on Sunday when his Barcelona side welcome Valencia to a nervous and greatly concerned Camp Nou.

Unfortunately for the Dutch manager, his side are still without a number of key players and will have to make do with quick-fixes across the pitch.

In defence, Koeman will be without Ronald Araujo to injury and is likely to stick with a back four of Jordi Alba, Eric Garcia, Gerard Pique and Sergio Dest, with the safe hands of Marc-Andre Ter Stegen between the posts.

Pedri remains out injured, which will be a huge blow to Barca’s chances of taking all three points from Valencia this weekend. However, Koeman will be expecting a trio of Frenkie de Jong, Sergi Busquets and Gavi to make up for the Spaniard’s absence.

Some good news comes in the form of Ansu Fati starting on the wing for Barca, with Memphis Depay on the opposing side and Luuk de Jong through the middle as the classic No.9, while Sergio Aguero remains out of action.
