Even Villarreal will feel this is not the best time to face Los Blancos. The Unai Emery’s side are also yet to be beaten this season but have not been convincing, winning one and drawing four of the five games played so far.

Their recent record against the host is another advantage for the host, who are unbeaten in each of their last seven meetings and have won three in that time. Another win is foreseen for the host on Saturday evening.

Anything except a win will increase the pressure on manager, Ronald Koeman, who will be missing from the sideline as he will be serving the first of his two game suspension.

Frankie De Jong will also be out after his red card against Cadiz in mid-week. The likes of Ansu Fati, Martin Braithwaite, Ousmane Dembélé, Jordi Alba, Pedri and Sergio Agüero remain out injuried.

Levante have earned big result in the league this season in their 3-3 draw away to Real Madrid on matchday two and will be looking to capitalize on Barcelona’s poor from to earn their first win of the season.
