Barcelona-Mallorca Preview


For the first time all season, Pep Guardiola has all 20 of his starters to choose from for tomorrow's matchup against Mallorca.

Dani Alves, who came out of injury a week early and participated in the midweek Champions League match against Rubin Kazan, is included in the 20, having no further problems with the thigh muscled he ruptured against Rubin Kazan two weeks ago.

Dymytro Chygrynsky will also be on the roster- he's not able to play CL games because he's not registered to play.

Barca is one point clear of Real Madrid after an unfortunate injury-time own-goal from Gerard Pique ripped the three points from Barca's grasp.

Mallorca has also made an impressive run so far, sitting in 5th place with 17 points in 9 games.

If Barcelona wants to retain their lead on the league, they have to win this game and hope that Real loses, in order to give them some breathing room in terms of points. After their tough tie against Rubin Kazan on Wednesday, the team really needs a win to restore morale.

No word yet on the starting 11 for either team
