Team news and predicted XIs

Barcelona’s new signing Martin Braithwaite is in line to make his debut for the Catalan – but the 28-year-old will have to wait for his opportunity from the bench.

The Dane will start on the bench, with Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann and Ansu Fati expected to start at Camp Nou.

Dembele will not feature again for the Catalan club this season, while Luis Suarez is out until at least April after knee surgery.

Jordi Alba is also sidelined after picking up a groin strain against Getafe last weekend and is likely to be replaced by Junior Firpo on Saturday, with young left-back Sergio Akieme also called up Setien.

Barcelona possible XI: Ter Stegen; Semedo, Pique, Umtiti, Firpo; Busquets, Arthur, De Jong, Fati, Messi, Griezmann

Eibar possible XI: Dmitrovic; Arbilla, Burgos, Bigas, Cote; Escalante, Exposito, Diop; Leon, Enrich, Orellana

Prediction: Barcelona 3-0 Eibar

A comfortable home win against a side just three points above the relegation zone.
