FC Barcelona can expect a tough fight at Getafe, especially with getafe managing to defeat Sevilla last week. Debutant keeper Stojkovic was in tremendous form and would have to be on top to stop the inform Barcelona attack. Getafe lies 14th in the table after successfully managing out to pull out of relegation zone in recent weeks. I expect Guardiola to give Valdes a well deserved rest, Pinto would be my choice to replace Valdes. Alves, Marquez, Puyol and Abidal should form the defense. Pique should get some rest after some hectic weeks. Xavi, Toure and Iniesta should form the midfield. Henry, Eto and Bojan should form the attacking trio. Messi should start from the bench as he needs to be fresh for the mid-week clash against Sevilla. He can come in the second half if necessary. This one could be a very tough battle, but barca's current form should see them through. My prediction is 3-1 victory for Barca.
