Gerard Pique was forced off injured inside 25 minutes in Barça's 1-1 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt in midweek, putting the Spaniard's involvement in doubt for this weekend.

Dani Alves is expected to return to the starting lineup with the Brazilian ineligible for Europa League games, although Sergino Dest (hamstring), Memphis Depay (hamstring) and Luuk de Jong (Covid-19) will be unavailable.


Levante vs Barcelona score prediction

The transformation in Barcelona's fortunes under Xavi has been remarkable, to the extent that a side who looked destined to finish outside of the Champions League spots is now in the driving seat for second place in La Liga.

Barca have embarked on a six-game winning run domestically, although Xavi is likely to have one eye on the return leg of his Europa League quarter-final with Eintracht Frankfurt in midweek.

However, the coach's principles have been firmly imprinted into this Barcelona side, meaning that even a slight reduction in individual firepower should still be enough to continue their winning run.

Prediction: Levante 0-2 Barcelona
