Barcelona faces Valencia at Estadio de Mestalla in LaLiga action

Barcelona travels to the Estadio de Mestalla on Sunday to face Valencia in a LaLiga fixture scheduled for 3:15pm BST. Hansi Flick leads the visiting side into the contest with a perfect record after three matches, having secured victories over Elche CF, Athletic Club, and Rayo Vallecano. Conversely, Valencia enters the match in a period of poor form, having collected only one point from their opening three games under manager Carlos Corberán. The home side faces a significant selection crisis with six first-team players, including José Copete, Justin de Haas, and Umar Sadiq, ruled out due to injury. Barcelona has registered summer signings Gabriel Jesus and Dominik Livaković, and Gavi returns to the matchday squad following a long absence. Lamine Yamal is expected to start for Barcelona despite sitting out a recent training session due to a minor knock.
