Hello and welcome to this Barcelona vs Getafe live blog, as we enjoy some midweek LaLiga Santander action. Ronald Koeman's side will be keen to get back in the swing of things league-wise after winning the Copa del Rey final against Athletic Club last Saturday night, with Atletico Madrid (eight points), Real Madrid (five points) and Sevilla (two points) all ahead of them in the table. Barcelona have two games in hand over the three teams above them, so they cannot afford to drop points against Getafe, as they did at the Estadio Coliseum Alfonso Perez earlier in the season when they lost 1-0. Here, we'll have all the build-up to this Matchday 31 game and then minute-by-minute updates after the 22:00 CEST kick off.
