Barcelona vs Newcastle: Preview

Barcelona left it late in the north-east last week as Lamine's injury-time penalty will have Hansi Flick's side now dreaming of a result on home soil.

Having hammered Sevilla 5-2 at the weekend thanks to a hat-trick from Raphinha, the Catalan giants are sitting pretty at the top of La Liga, ahead of Real Madrid in 2nd by virtue of four points.

Barcelona will be without Jules Kounde, Frenkie de Jong, Alejandro Balde (all hamstring) and Andreas Christensen (knee) as they all continue to recover from injury for Newcastle's midweek visit.

Yamal featured a sub against Sevilla at the weekend, but will likely have recovered to face Eddie Howe's men.

SEE ALSO | Who are the commentators and pundits on TNT Sports this week?

Newcastle beat Chelsea 1-0 in the Premier League at the weekend to boost their hopes of a top-five finish.

Anthony Gordon was again the match winner, as the ex-Everton star looks likely to be called upon by Thomas Tuchel this summer, no thanks to his brilliant goalscoring of late.

Only Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe (13) has scored more UCL goals this season than Gordon (10), proving how influential he has been to the Magpies of late.

Bruno Guimaraes (hamstring), Lewis Miley (thigh), Fabian Schar (ankle) and Emil Krafth (knee) all remain out with injuries, while Sandro Tonali will be assessed after missing the win at Chelsea with illness.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Barcelona 1-2 Newcastle

FourFourTwo thinks there is bound to be one shock of the round and we are backing Newcastle to do it.
