SPANISH ACTION
Good evening and welcome to the live blog for Getafe vs Barcelona!
Barca will be looking to get back to winning ways having drawn their last league match at home to Sevilla.
The Catalan giants remain undefeated at the start of the 2020-21 league campaign, winning twice and drawing once.
Getafe sit in tenth, five places behind the visitors this evening, however, they’re coming off the back of a 3-0 defeat to Real Sociedad.
Goal-keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegan is still out injured for Barca having missed the first three league fixtures.
Samuel Umtiti is also out injured, he hasn’t played a minute of football so far this season.
Left-back duo Jordi Alba and Junior Firpo also miss tonight’s fixture through injury.
Lionel Messi will most likely start tonight, continuing his fine form alongside wonderkid Ansu Fati.
Getafe have a fully-fit squad to their disposal, however, Amath Ndiaye is a slight doubt for tonight’s clash.
We will have all the latest team news when it’s out, let’s hope for a cracking night of Spanish football!
