Barcelona remain without Lionel Messi as they go chasing a fourth straight win in La Liga on Sunday against Villarreal, live on Sky Sports 3 from 2.55pm.
Messi tore the internal collateral ligament of his left knee in September and is still regaining full-fitness.
However, Luis Enrique's side have not lost since a 2-1 defeat at Sevilla on October 3 - their first match without Messi - as Neymar and Luis Suarez have fired the club to joint top of La Liga.
The pair have scored 17 goals between them this season with Neymar drawing praise from team-mate Andres Iniesta ahead of this weekend's game.
"He's a spectacular talent in every sense," he said on Barcelona's official website . "Neymar is still very young and he has come to a team where he can develop a lot.
"Let's hope his progress continues because we want him to stay here for a lot more years."
Along with Messi, Barcelona will also be without midfielder Javier Mascherano, who is sidelined with a ban after picking up a red card against Eibar.
Ivan Rakitic is out with a calf injury, which could open the door for a return for Iniesta.
