MANAGER QUOTES

Luis Garcia (Getafe): "I have the feeling that this team has the ability to surprise and win against Barcelona. We have set a good record at home, with two wins, three draws and only one defeat." Pep Guardiola (Barcelona): "What lies in wait for the rest of the year (matches against Getafe, Rayo Vallecano, Levante and Real Madrid before the Club World Cup in Japan) is fascinating, and we must start with a win tomorrow. We have a really dangerous period coming up and we have to be focused. We have to lay in a lot of mental work to ensure we don't drop points ahead of the trip."

MATCH FACTS

Getafe have just won one of their 14 meetings with Barcelona in Primera: three draws and 10 defeats. Only once in 14 top-flight clashes have Getafe scored more than once against Barcelona (2-0 in 07/08). This is Getafe’s worst-ever start to a league season past 12 matches (10 points, four fewer than this time last season). Pep Guardiola’s men have won their last five league games against the azulones in LigaBBVA. Getafe have only won three of their final 15 league games, all of them at home. Barcelona are on a run of 16 league games without a defeat, since losing 1-2 at Real Sociedad in April. Barcelona have scored the most goals in the opening 15 minutes of LigaBBVA games this time (10), while Getafe are yet to score in this period. Luis García’s men have conceded the most goals in the final 15 minutes of La Liga games this season (eight). Barcelona have won 80% of their league games with Puyol on the pitch this season, but only 57% without him. Getafe’s top scorer, Miku, has already bagged five goals in 12 games this season: in 11/12 he managed only seven in 31. Last time out against Real Zaragoza, David Villa ended a run of six league games without a goal in LigaBBVA. Barcelona confirmed this afternoon that midfielder Andres Iniesta will miss tomorrow's match after failing to recover from a groin strain. The Spain international sat out the midweek win over Milan with the injury picked up in final weekend's match against Real Zaragoza. "Despite considerable improvement, the pain has not gone away and it was considered best for him to get some more days of rest,'' a statement on fcbarcelona.com read. "His availability for the next few matches will depend on how his recovery progresses.'' There was better news for Guardiola with the return of Adriano after a hamstring injury, while Dani Alves too returns after a European suspension
