Guide to today's Barça-Alabés match: schedule, where to watch and lineups

BarcelonaFC Barcelona faces Deportivo Alavés this Saturday in a new La Liga fixture (4:15 PM CET), in the match corresponding to the fourteenth round, which will once again take place at the renovated Camp Nou. After returning to their home stadium, Hansi Flick's team will look to solidify their form, erase the memory of their poor Champions League performance against Chelsea, and maintain pressure on Real Madrid. Alavés, meanwhile, arrives in Barcelona hoping to secure vital points to maintain their distance from the relegation zone. Barça comes into the match in positive momentum in the domestic competition. In their last home game, the Blaugrana secured a resounding 4-0 victory against Athletic Club, a win that served to celebrate their return to the Camp Nou and boost the team's confidence. However, the team still carries some European baggage after their heavy defeat at Stamford Bridge (3-0). Alavés arrives in Barcelona in a more precarious position, having suffered two consecutive defeats against Girona and Celta Vigo. These results keep the Basque side mired in the relegation battle. While Barcelona sits second in La Liga with 31 points, Eduardo Coudet's men are fourteenth with 15 points, four points above the relegation zone.

Barça will be without Marc-André Stegen, Ronald Araujo, Pablo Gavi, and Fermín López due to injury. The big news is the inclusion of Pedri, who has recovered from his muscle injury. Alavés will have no absences.
