Preview and Team News
Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi has recovered from an adductor problem and is in contention to participate against Deportivo. Without the Argentine wizard, Barcelona has struggled and even lost its last league game against Celta Vigo. Now, with Messi back, Luis Enrique likely hopes things will change for the better.
In training, Messi was seen laughing and playing, so it is all good for Messi fans who wished the star to return as soon as possible.

In defense, Spanish duo Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto are absent due to injuries, which means Lucas Digne and Aleix Vidal operate at fullback position.
French defender Samual Umtiti is available after some spell on the sidelines, and he may start the game to provide much needed rest for Javier Mascherano. Umtiti may partner with Gerard Pique, who recently announced his international retirement that will take effect after the 2018 World Cup.
In attack, Arda Turan or Rafinha could play on the right-hand side of the three-man attack. Paco Alcacer, who was signed from Valencia in a big money move, may once again be forced to watch the game from the sidelines.
Luis Enrique has said that despite having to play Manchester City in mid-week following this match, he will start the full-strength side.
For Deportivo, Faycal Fajr is available after a short ban, but the Moroccan may not be risked from the start.
Juanfran is not 100 percent fit yet, so we may see Laure start at right-back.
Starting Lineups
Barcelona Predicted Lineup (4-3-3): ter Stegen; Vidal, Pique, Umtiti, Digne; Gomes, Busquets, Turan; Rafinha, Suarez, Neymar
Deportivo Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Lux; Juanfran, Albentosa, Sidnei, Navarro; Borges, Mosquera; Gama, Colak, Moreno; Andone
