The FC Barcelona knows that it plays a lot in the visit of the Granada CF to the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Compannys, this Sunday from the 21:00 hours (9:00 PM CET). It will be a key party to keep in the fight by LaLiga EA SPORTS and to reaffirm the change of dynamics of the team. They add two consecutive victories and want to leave backwards the crisis and ghosts that have pursued him in this season.

Everything seems to indicate to that will keep the base of the team that imposed in Mendizorroza does a week, with the novelty of the return of Marc-André ter Stegen to the goal. It has received green light to go back to the terrain of game after happening almost three months 'KO' by lumbar problems that carried him to the operating theatre. To continuation, our forecast of the alignments:
Likely alignments of the FC Barcelona-Granada CF of LaLiga
- XI of the FC Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsí, Cancel; Christensen, Of Jong, Gündogan, Pedri; Lamine Yamal, Lewandowski.
- XI of the Granada: Battle; Ricard, Miquel, Bruno Méndez, Neva; Sergio Ruiz, Gumbau, Hongla; Melendo, Pellistri and Uzuni.
Ter Stegen
The guardameta born in Mönchengladbach will take action for the first time from 12 November, in the victory of the Barça on the Sportive Alavés in Montjuïc (2-1). It was low by some lumbar problems that suffered in the announcement of the selection of Germany that forced him to go through the operating theatre. Before lesionarse, had fit 13 goals in 13 parties of LaLiga.
Koundé-Araújo-Cubarsí-Cancel
Everything seems to indicate to that Xavi Hernández will keep 'identical' the defensive saga by which bet in Mendizorroza, with Jules Koundé in the right side, Ronald Araújo and Pau Cubarsí in the axis of the defence, with the alternative of Iñigo Martínez in the bench, and Joao Cancel in the left band. The Portuguese arrive 'forced', after the annoyances that suffered in front of the Alavés, but smart to play.
Christensen-Of Jong-Gündogan-Pedri
Except novelty, Andreas Christensen will go back to play like pivote for the second time. It left good feelings against the Alavés and contributes more balance to the medullary. It will joint with Frenkie of Jong, whereas Gündogan and Pedri are the most benefited of the 'retouch' in the XI because they will be able to play much more advanced, a factor that already benefited them in the last party.
Lewandowski-Lamine Yamal
In spite of the return of Raphinha to the action, the elected for the line of attack will be Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal, those who already stood out in the visit to the Alavés. The Pole already has broken his drought goleadora in League and the player formed in The Masia is being increasingly incisive and important for the attack. His desparpajo and speed are him conviertiendo in one of the most important pieces of the Barça.
