La Liga: FC Barcelona vs Xerez CD, Municipal de Chapín, Wednesday, December 2 2009, 22:00 CET

Barca toil on through the season, and the next ones to move past are newly promoted Xerez. Keep in mind that ex-Barca hottie Victor Sanchez plays for them now after the club sold him last summer albiet with a buy-back option... we're getting pretty used to seeing former Masia boys up against us, they're scattered over half the Liga teams. We really liked little Vic, it'll be niceto check up on him again even if he's now the opposition.

We don't see Xerez as much of a threat, Barca should be able to take them on easily enough, yada, yada... our totally random prediction is that Bojan starts and scores a brace, with Keita and Messi possibly getting on the scoresheet as well.

Gaby Milito isn't getting regular call-ups yet and so isn't included, and neither is Gerard Pique as Pep opted to give him the day off. The team shouldn't miss him too much, and personally we are looking forward to seeing Rafa start for a change. Sergio Busquets is suspended after earning himself a red card against Real Madrid; other than that the rest of the boys make up the nineteen man squad along with Jonathan Dos Santos from the B-team: Valdés, Pinto, Abidal, Alves, Maxwell, Puyol, Txigrinski, Márquez, Touré, Xavi, Iniesta, Bojan, Pedro, Jeffren, Dos Santos, Henry, Keita, Messi, Ibrahimovic.
