La Liga: FC Barcelona vs Deportivo La Coruña, Riazor, Saturday, December 5 2009, 22:00 CET

There's no rest for Barca as they continue the campaign to defend their Liga title, as they're set to face Deprtivo La Coruña tonight. The boys departed earlier today for Coruña, but just-in reports are that the team's plane had to return to El Pratt airport in Barcelona due to technical problems - hopefully whatever's going on will be cleared up in time for the boys to make their match.

Like Barca, Deportivo are unbeaten since October, so this match could be the turning point for either team. It won't be a piece of cake, but we expect the boys will be able to come off with a respectable win in the end. In any case it's sure to be an open and exciting match, we can't wait!

Pep's 18-man squad sees the return of Sergio Busquets after he'd missed out against Xerez due to a red card, while Rafael Marquez and Jeffren have been dropped in addition to Gaby Milito, who isn't up to regular call-ups just yet. The squad: Valdés, Pinto, Henry, Xavi, Piqué, Iniesta, Sergio Busquets, Puyol, Pedro, Ibrahimovic, Bojan, Maxwell, Messi, Chygryskiy Alves, Abidal, Keita, Touré.
