Barcelona will want to take advantage of Girona's recent slip, as Xavi's men look to leapfrog their way to the second spot when they play host to Getafe in Saturday's La Liga tie at Estadio Olimpic Lluis Companys.
At a time Girona lost their last two league games, the Blaugrana are eyeing to extend a five-game unbeaten run in all competitions after a 1-1 draw with Napoli in the mid-week.
Meanwhile, Getafe aim to make some strides in the mid-table league standings following a 1-1 draw with Villarreal amid a three-game unbeaten run.

Team news & squads
Barcelona team news
It is just the quartet of Ferran Torres, Alejandro Balde, Marcos Alonso and Gavi in Barca's treatment room now, as Sergi Roberto and Joao Felix were included in the squad against Napoli.
Felix can play another cameo role off the bench, but Lamine Yamal emerges as a doubt due to a knock. So, Raphinha could join Robert Lewandowski and Pedri in attack instead.

A knee injury renders Mauro Arambarri unavailable for the rest of this season, while Fabricio Angileri is a doubt on account of a muscular problem.
Jordi Martin was forced off against Villarreal at the weekend and would need a once-over ahead of kickoff, leaving the doors open for Carles Alena's involvement in midfield.
Linked with a move to Barcelona, the Manchester United-owned Mason Greenwood should see himself in the XI once again.
