Latest Alaves vs Barcelona team information
Alaves remain doubtful over Hugo Novoa, but the hosts have been in fine form of late. Coach Garcia may decide to stick with the same line-up that started against Getafe, with Toni Martinez taking the central role and Joan Jordan continuing in midfield. Carlos Vicente, with two goals in seven La Liga appearances, will operate on the wing, while Antonio Sivera remains first-choice goalkeeper.
Barcelona will continue to be without Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Fermin Lopez, Dani Olmo, Marc Bernal, Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araujo and Gavi through injury. However, Inigo Martinez has recovered and Eric Garcia is also back after serving a suspension against Young Boys. Garcia is likely to replace Ferran Torres in the starting line-up, while Inaki Pena remains in goal, but new signing Wojciech Szczesny could be included in the squad having trained with the first team.
Frenkie de Jong has also returned from an ankle injury and came off the bench against Young Boys. He could feature again as a substitute this weekend, adding to Barcelona's strength. The match between Alaves and Barcelona promises to be an exciting one with unexpected developments from both teams.

Latest football commentary Alaves vs Barcelona
Alaves finished 10th in La Liga last season on their return to the top flight and have made a solid start to the campaign with 10 points from eight games, currently sitting 11th in the table. Luis Garcia's side have a record of three wins, one draw and four defeats, scoring 11 goals in a fairly even spread.
While there are signs that Alaves could be safe this season, their recent form has been worrying, with three losses in their last four games, including defeats to Real Madrid and Getafe. They have also lost their last three La Liga games against Barcelona, having not beaten them in the Spanish top flight since September 2016, suggesting a difficult match ahead.
Alaves, though, could benefit from a fresh start to the season, with Barcelona busy with their European commitments. Barcelona surprisingly lost by four goals to Osasuna in a forgettable game but bounced back with a 5-0 win over Young Boys in the Champions League. Under new coach Hansi Flick, the Catalans have won their opening seven games of the 2024-25 La Liga season, amassing 21 points and currently sit top of the table, three points ahead of Real Madrid.
Barcelona are the top scorers in La Liga this season with 25 goals, with Robert Lewandowski scoring nine in 10 appearances, showing that he is still one of the world's top strikers. Alaves are not to be underestimated though, Barcelona have won 24 of their 36 La Liga games against them and have not lost away to Alaves since December 2001. This could be a tough game, but Barcelona will be hoping to secure a win to consolidate their lead at the top.
