By Danielle Joynson, Staff Reporter | 14 September 2012

Getafe will try to cause another La Liga upset when they take on Barcelona this weekend following their victory over Real Madrid last month.

Getafe welcome the former La Liga champions Barcelona to their ground this weekend with the hope that they can record a similar shock result to that against Real Madrid.

Azulones managed to grab a 2-1 win over the champions last month, which was followed by a 1-1 draw against Deportivo La Coruna.

Tito Vilanova's side continue to go from strength to strength and they will hope to build on their 1-0 win over Valencia before the international break.

Getafe are likely to field David Abraham after the defender recovered from a leg injury, while new signing Alvaro Vazquez could make an appearance in the starting lineup.

Barca are expected to welcome back skipper Carles Puyol from a facial injury. However, the likes of Andres Iniesta and Alexis Sanchez are likely to be sidelined due to respective injuries.
