Barcelona square off against Getafe in La Liga matchday 8 with coach Hansi Flick making changes to his lineup, resting two regular starters and tweaking his selection from recent fixtures. Jules Kounde is pushing to reclaim a starting spot after Eric Garcia featured in that role for a run of games.
Off the pitch, Chelsea are circling a move for midfielder Frenkie de Jong. Liverpool are also said to be chasing an out-of-favour Barcelona defender, with reports placing the fee at around 60 million pounds.
