Barcelona vs. Villarreal: Dembele and Busquets missing against Setien's side
With a win, Barça can move 11 points clear of Real Madrid, who play Wednesday
Xavi Hernández has announced Barcelona's squad for the LaLiga trip to Villarreal at 21:00 on Sunday at La Cerámica.
The Blaugrana, the sole leaders of the competition, want to take advantage of the fact that Real Madrid will be playing on Wednesday, due to the Club World Cup, to move to 11 clear at the top of the table.
They will face Quique Setién's side, who are coming off the back of two consecutive defeats in LaLiga and need the three points to avoid falling further away from the Champions League places.
With Ousmane Dembélé and Sergio Busquets out through injury, Pablo Torre is back in the squad after playing for Barça Atlètic last weekend.

In the last training session prior to the match, Xavi called up Ángel Alarcón, Estanis Pedrola and Marc Casadó who, along with goalkeeper Arnau Tenas, completed the session.
In the end, only Alarcón and Tenas will be part of the expedition.
