Barcelona make their La Liga trip to Getafe with just 20 players named in Xavi’s matchday squad.
The Catalans have opted to make the trip to Madrid by train, as part of a drive to become more environmentally-friendly in their travel plans, with a smaller panel of players boarding the Renfe service from Barcelona Sants station.

Xavi will look to rotate his starting team in Spanish capital, but complacency is the biggest threat to their title charge, with Real Madrid currently 13 points adrift, ahead of Los Blancos heading to Cadiz.
