The big doubts in the Barça of Xavi for the derbi Catalan

Each party is a big final for the FC Barcelona. After a first-half of grey and worrisome season, the Barcelona picture arrived to a position in which it does not have allowed to lose points, if his intention is to struggle for winning LaLiga to the end. Against the Espanyol, this Sunday to the 21:00 hours, to the Barça only costs him return home with three points of gold that will allow him recortar distances with the Real Madrid.

The White House sum 54 points, 16 more than the Barça. To win, the distance will remain in 13, an important difference considering the difficult that has been the way up to now. Of there that the pressure was maximum and Xavi Hernández was forced to take out his best pieces to achieve three points importantísimos of face at the end of season. They are varied the doubts that has the egarense in his eleven.

It foresees that the alignment will be very similar to the one of the crash in front of the Athletic of Madrid, but can have important changes. It is worth it to remember that Dani Alves will not be available for the party after having been expelled with red direct in the clash against the 'colchoneros' by a hard entrance to Yannick Carrasco. His absence will put to work to Xavi to replace it in the field.

There are several options, but the most logical is that Sergiño Dest between as title in the eleven and play in his natural position, like right side. However, if there is something true is that Xavi does not trust a lot in the international with United States and no descarta that it can 'dispense' of him, although it would be a risky bet. Adama Traoré Also could play in this position.

Knowing that Eric García will be back in the announcement, Ronald Araújo could displace to the right side, where already has played in this season. In the selection of Uruguay, in the last stop FIFA, played in this demarcation and left very good feelings, even going up to the attack of the charrúas. Like this then , the ex of the Manchester City (if it is to be headline) would accompany to Gerard Hammered in the defensive axis. Jordi Alba would not move of his left band.

Who will start in the attack?

Another important doubt is who will be headlines in the line of attack. Xavi Hernández has a few players in the forward and, for the first time from his arrival, is in conditions to choose. Against the Athletic of Madrid jugaron Adama by the right band, Ferran in the centre of the forward and Gavi like false extreme by the left. The bet went out him very well because it could tie up the three points, but... It will change of plan?

Aubameyang Also is available, but does not know if it is to be headline. It left good feelings against the rojiblancos and has trained with regularity, but his inactivity from 2 December puts in doubt his presence. In case to play from the start, Adama would play by the right, the gabonés as '9' and Ferran Torres in the left. Also they are the options of Luuk of Jong and Martin Braithwaite.
