Levante held Malaga to a goalless draw in their last La Liga outing. Matt Ryan emerged as the hero of the match by stopping a crucial penalty that would have put his team behind.
The hosts have improved their fortunes over the course of the season. After kicking off their campaign with a humiliating 3-0 defeat at Espanyol, they have strung together a three-game unbeaten run, headlined by a comfortable 5-2 victory over Real Betis.
With five points earned from a possible 12, Luis Castro's men are 11th in the Spanish top flight. The Portuguese coach has a fairly healthy squad heading into this clash, with Etta Eyong being the only absentee due to a thigh injury.
On the other hand, Barcelona kicked off their UEFA Champions League campaign with a 5-1 victory over Feyenoord.
The Catalan side have been nothing short of impressive, winning seven consecutive matches across all competitions.
In fact, Hansi Flick's troops have played five competitive games this season and have scored at least five goals in four of them; they are currently leading the standings and are La Liga's highest-scoring side.
Gavi has fully recovered from his knee bruise and is available for selection. However, Roony Bardghji and Frenkie de Jong are sidelined for the visitors, while Eric Garcia's availability is questionable due to a head injury.
Barcelona have had an excellent track record against Levante, having won the last four clashes between these outfits, with no defeats in the last seven H2Hs (W6, D1).
Conversely, the visitors have conceded at least two goals in five consecutive trips to this stadium.

Whispers Predicts: Levante 1-4 Barcelona
Priced at 1/6 (1.17), Barcelona are clearly favoured by the bookmakers ahead of this encounter.
Considering their recent run of results, coupled with their dominance in recent H2Hs, anything other than a comfortable victory for the visiting team would be surprising.
Hansi Flick's men have scored at least five goals in four of their last five outings, so we fancy over 3.5 Barcelona goals at 27/20 (2.35).
The last five H2Hs at this stadium featured goals at both ends, and this can be backed at 17/20 (1.85).
> Over 3.5 total goals at 7/10 (1.70) | Likelihood: Probable
> BTTS – Yes at 17/20 (1.85) | Likelihood: Probable
> To win both halves: Barcelona at 21/20 (2.05) | Likelihood: Probable
> Barcelona & BTTS – Yes at 6/5 (2.20) | Likelihood: Probable
> Correct Score: 1-4 at 12/1 (13.00) | Likelihood: Outsider
