Venue and kick off time:
Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets says he is ready to fill in at the back in the absence of Gerard Pique and Gabi Milito against Villarreal at the Nou Camp.
Pique is suspended following his red card against Getafe last weekend, while Milito misses out as well after picking up an injury in the 5-1 win over Segunda Division B side Ceuta in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday night.
That leaves captain Carles Puyol as the club's only recognised central defender available for the game against in-form Villarreal.
Barca coach Pep Guardiola had a wealth of options in that position last year, but defenders Rafa Marquez and Dmytro Chygrynskiy moved on in the summer, along with midfielder Yaya Toure, who often filled in at the back when others were unavailable.
Guardiola may decide to switch full-back Eric Abidal to a central position to start alongside Puyol but Busquets is prepared to drop back into the defence for the good of the team.
"My position is defensive midfield, but if I had to play as a central defender, I would,'' he said.
"I would have things to improve on, because it's not my natural position, but I could play as a centre-back.''
If Busquets is used at the back, Argentina midfielder Javier Mascherano will start in the holding role.
Barcelona face a key clash at home to fierce rivals Real Madrid at the end of this month, but Busquets says the Catalans are focused solely on Villarreal for now.
"There are some very important matches before we play Madrid,'' he said.
"For us, the most important game is this Saturday against Villarreal - they are a great team and we hope to win the three points to open up a gap ahead of them in the table.''
After 10 rounds of Primera Division matches, Barca lie in second with 25 points, one behind leaders Madrid and two ahead of third-placed Villarreal.
Villarreal have won seven out of their first 10 league matches and lost just once so far in the league this season.
That defeat came on the opening weekend, meaning the Yellow Submarine are unbeaten in nine rounds of Primera Division matches.
And striker Nilmar hopes his side can prove they are able to compete at the very top by securing a positive result at the Nou Camp.
"We are going to try and make sure Madrid and Barca don't escape,'' he said.
"These matches against one of the best teams in the world are the ones that every player wants to be involved in.
"We are going there to win the three points because we want to stay up at the top of the table.
"And if we do things well, people will recognise our work.''
Villarreal advanced to the last 16 of the Copa del Rey on Wednesday with a 2-0 win over Poli Ejido.
Veteran midfielder Marcos Senna missed that match through injury and is doubtful for the Nou Camp clash.
