PROBABLE LINE-UPS
Barcelona (4-3-3)
Valdes; Alves, Pique, Fontas, Abidal; Thiago, Mascherano, Keita; Pedro, Villa, Afellay
Coach Pep Guardiola looks set to rest his key figures and he has also hinted that he will give his players who have yet to regain full fitness after recent injuries a run-out in the last two league games of the season. However, Adriano and Gaby Milito are still recovering from their respective muscle injuries, while Carles Puyol has yet to rejoin team training. Maxwell is out for the rest of the season.
Deportivo (4-2-3-1)
Aranzubia; Laure, Colotto, Lopo, Manuel Pablo; Aythami, Ruben Perez; Adrian, Valeron, Guardado; Riki
Midfielder Juan Rodriguez is doubtful after picking up a knock in midweek. If he fails to recover Aythami will start alongside Ruber Perez as the double pivot. Coach Miguel Angel Lotina is also waiting on the fitness of Andres Guardado, Adrian Lopez and Manuel Pablo. Ze Castro and Antonio Tomas are certain absentees.
Prediction
Newly-crowned 2010-11 La Liga champions Barcelona will parade onto the Camp Nou turf to ensure that their home fans are able to celebrate their title success with a win. But Deportivo, just three points clear of the relegation zone, will fight to the death to save themselves as well as spoil Barca's party. The Galicians are expected to form an ultra-defensive barrier to leave Catalunya with as many points as possible, and it's up to Guardiola's champions to supply the entertainment.
Barcelona 1-1 Deportivo
