Villarreal will be without four injured players for the match against Barcelona, including Willy Kambwala, Gerard Moreno, Juan Foyth and Alfonso Pedraza.
Ayoze Perez, in fine form with three goals in five games, will continue to lead the line on Sunday. New signing Thierno Barry also retains his place, and coach Marcelino is likely to keep his starting line-up unchanged, leaving Yeremy Pino and Nicolas Pepe on the bench.
Barcelona will be without Fermin Lopez, Dani Olmo, Marc Bernal, Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araujo, Frenkie de Jong and Gavi through injury. Ferran Torres is also out after being sent off against Girona, but Eric Garcia is in contention despite being sent off against Monaco. Marc Casado, who picked up an injury late in the game against Monaco, is expected to be fit. Yamal, 17, who has been in excellent form with four goals and four assists in six games, will be back in the starting line-up this weekend.

Latest football review Villarreal vs Barcelona
Villarreal finished last year's La Liga season in eighth place, a disappointing result given they had finished fifth and seventh in previous seasons.
However, the Yellow Submarine have made an impressive start to the season, with three wins and two draws, earning 11 points, placing them fourth in the table, level on points with Atletico Madrid and four points behind Barcelona. Marcelino's side drew 2-2 with Atletico in their opening game, then won against Sevilla and Celta Vigo, and most recently won 2-1 against Mallorca thanks to an Ayoze Perez stoppage-time winner.
Villarreal will be looking to beat Barcelona at home for the first time since October 2007, despite an impressive 5-3 win over the Catalans at the end of January. Barcelona, on the other hand, will come into this game following a 2-1 defeat to Monaco in their opening Champions League group game, despite Lamine Yamal equalising thanks to his first Champions League goal. However, Barcelona's form in La Liga has been impeccable, with five straight wins taking them to the top of the table on 15 points.
The Catalans will be under pressure in their next three league games, and they need all three points in this clash to consolidate their lead at the top. Barcelona beat Villarreal 4-3 in the corresponding fixture last season and have not lost at the Yellow Submarine's stadium since 2007, underscoring their dominance. Despite missing a number of key players, Barcelona face an in-form Villarreal side. It could be a narrow win for the visitors, but a low-scoring draw cannot be ruled out, as Villarreal are a force to be reckoned with at home.
