The Barcelona Valencia receives a high-flying duel, as the local team, third in the league-sum eleven games in a row without losing, but opposite is the undisputed leader of the Championship, which has yielded only one defeat and two draws to date. FC Barcelona arrives in Mestalla with Xavi, recovered from his injury.
The meeting comes to Valencia in their best moment of the season, but coach Unai Emery has important players in their ranks, such as Aritz Aduriz striker, top scorer in the league, and David Albelda, both through injury and of those sentenced Mehmet Topal and Bruno Saltor. The sanction of Bruno and the punishment that the club has imposed on the Portuguese Miguel Brito, to remove him from the team for a new act of indiscipline, cause the Valencia team has no specific right side to face this grief.
Valencia coach is considering the option of relocating to a central defender in the right lane, with Portugal's Ricardo Costa and Lithuanian Marius Stankevicius the two candidates, while Maduro return to the starting lineup to replace the suspended Topal. Emery, that tomorrow will not make the call, you may choose to align a 'trivote' in midfield, an option used in the first round match at the Nou Camp, so it would have Maduro and Ever Banega Tino Costa in the wide area, with Mata and Joaquin Soldier bands and main offensive reference.
Two players hog the spotlight before the game. By local, defender David Navarro will be watched very closely after his incident with Fernando Llorente last weekend, while the visitor side, David Villa will play for the first time at the Mestalla since last summer passed the Valencia to Barcelona.
Meanwhile, FC Barcelona Xavi Hernandez returns for tomorrow's match against Valencia at the Mestalla, where the Catalan side, under the command of Pep Guardiola, still not knowing how to win. Barca, on top of the standings with seven points, faces a party more committed to remaining as foreign, in addition to visits also has outstanding field Villarreal and Real Madrid.
After the visit to Mallorca on Saturday (0-3), where the club had four significant decreases (Alves penalty and Xavi, Puyol and Valdes injury), the Catalan team in Valencia will align the Brazilian side and Xavi Hernandez, who has already been discharged. The expedition will travel to Valencia Barca without David Villa, who first played against his former team.
The Spaniard will move forward as Wednesday to a trial in Avilés and then move to Valencia. Who is doubtful for the trip is Barca coach Pep Guardiola, with acute low back pain after two weeks of discomfort. And could not lead the training session today at the Sports City. The boat is in Valencia strengthened in the lead and the offense of Madrid in La Coruña (0-0), but also by the level offered in the field players in recent unusual alignments, as Keita and Adriano, two players Guardiola praised after crash in Mallorca.
Against Valencia, Barca will align your team midfield gala on, while the defense, the entry of Alves left the band will play Hadrian is the Maxwell as Abidal is in the axis along Pique, Puyol by falling. The goal Andalusian José Manuel Pinto will hold for the third straight game for the injured Valdés.
