Sports Mole looks at how Barcelona could line up in Sunday's La Liga contest with Almeria.

Barcelona will again be without the services of Ousmane Dembele and Pedri for Sunday's La Liga clash with Almeria, with the pair still on the sidelines due to hamstring problems.

Meanwhile, Ansu Fati has been ruled out of the contest due to a knee injury that he suffered in Friday's training session.

The Catalan outfit will be boosted by the return of Gavi, though, with the midfielder available again after missing out against Manchester United on Thursday night due to a suspension.

Ronald Araujo emerged as an injury doubt when he was substituted in the latter stages of Thursday's 2-1 loss at Old Trafford, but head coach Xavi said after the match that the change was just a precaution.

As a result, the Uruguay international is expected to again be in the starting side on Sunday.

Xavi will have one eye on next week's Copa del Rey semi-final first leg with Real Madrid, so it is likely that there will be changes for this match, with Jordi Alba and Ferran Torres also pushing to start.

Marcos Alonso is also an option to come into the defence, but Andreas Christensen should continue alongside Araujo in the middle, with Jules Kounde playing from the right.

Robert Lewandowski scored his 25th goal of the campaign at Old Trafford on Thursday, and the Poland international will again lead the Catalan outfit's line this weekend.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Kounde, Araujo, Christensen, Alba; F de Jong, Busquets, Gavi; Raphinha, Lewandowski, F Torres
