Well hello 2019!
Barcelona will be hoping to get off to the best possible start in the new year with a win at Getafe, a team who have caused them difficulties in the past, even if results tend to show otherwise.
At this stage, unlike last season, there really is no margin for error. Despite a heavy Copa del Rey schedule to contend with - and I for one would like to see the kids involved in that particular competition - any points dropped in the next three to four La Liga games could see Barca being pulled right back into the chasing pack.
