Current Form and Standings

Barcelona have started the campaign well winning two of their first three games and scoring seven goals in that time. However, the Catalan club did just come off the back of a slightly disappointing 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano and will be looking to get back on track and keep contact with rivals Real Madrid at this early point of the season.

Valencia's exceptional resurgence under Carlos Corberan last season meant that there was a good amount of optimism heading into this. Valencia have started this season with an even split of results drawing their first game against Real Sociedad, before losing to Osasuna and getting a comfortable 3-0 victory against Getafe. They will not be expecting anything from this away game against giants Barca, but getting something would be big for their confidence ahead of the rest of the season.

Key Players to Watch: Barcelona vs Valencia

Lamine Yamal (Barcelona) The 18-year-old Ballon D'or candidate has had an excellent start to the season for his club scoring two goals and getting two assists in the opening three games of the season. Yamal is undoubtedly the danger man, in a team full of danger men, for Barca and Valencia will have to be at their best to stop him.

Pedri (Barcelona) Pedri has looked unstoppable in the Barcelona midfield so far this season and has cemented himself as one of the best midfielders in the world. Valencia will have to disrupt his tempo controlling playstyle if they are to get anywhere near the ball, let alone the Barcelona goal.

Mouctar Diakhaby (Valencia) Despite not starting the campaign in the starting XI, Diakhate played the game against Getafe in full, scoring a goal and getting man of the match from centre back. Valencia are still searching for their Mosquera replacement and Diakhaby could be the man to do that, if he can keep up his form from the Getafe game.

Hugo Duro (Valencia) Duro has reached double figures for goals in the previous two campaigns for Valencia, and has alsready got off the mark in this campaign. Duro will have his work cut out to penetrate the Barcelona defence and his ability in front of goal will be crucial for Valencia if they are to get something from this game.
