"(about Wednesday's game against Malaga) This game has an added element of difficulty both for the rival and the stadium. And because in this sport difficulties can appear all of a sudden. Like we did against Levante, our goal is to generate complications to our rival. By being a better team we have more winning chances."

Luis Suarez will be making an appearance, however it'll be for the B-side in a friendly against Indonesia under-19s.

"(about Luis Suarez) The player has said he wants to play so he can achieve a more competitive rhythm even though in a different context. So he will play tomorrow."

They'll look to Lionel Messi again for inspiration.

Despite missing a penalty against Levante, he's been instrumental in 9 of Barca's 12 goals across all competitions.

Martinez says it's their defence that needs to improve if they want to take all three points against Malaga.

The side won its season-opener against Athletic Bilbao but has stumbled since.
