Elche v West Bromwich Albion Match Preview, Dec 02, 2022
Elche don't pose much of a scoring threat, particularly without Boakye, so even if Carles Puyol and Marc Bartra aren't good to go, Barcelona shouldn't take any chances with Pique. Breaking down the hosts' solid organisation on the back-end will be a far bigger challenge for the Blaugrana, but as we saw in the teams' first matchup of the season, Elche struggle against incisive passing, something Barcelona does better than arguably any other team in the world. In truth, this match should be a good preparation for next week's match against Atletico, who are a bigger and better version of Elche on the defensive side and will challenge Barcelona in every other facet of play. Elche will give Barcelona a chance to rest some key defenders, while the rest of the team take care of business against the Franjiverdes.
It was a joint decision. I spoke with the doctor and we made it together.

As we learned in Week 36, however, every single match needs to play, including this tie against Elche.
Elche vs. Barcelona: Date, Time, Live Stream, TV Info and PreviewManu Fernandez/Associated PressFollowing Atletico Madrid's 2-0 loss to Levante, Barcelona are suddenly very much alive in the race for the Spanish La Liga title.

[... ]The quality of their players surprises you but we know their style by now. They will grow their game when given the ball, with a lot of players between the lines and attack with the ball. We aren’t likely to win the possession battle but we will fight back and we will focus on the set pieces which will be an important factor because that’s their weak point. The most difficult thing is to control the genius of their game. Barcelona don't have to worry about cup finals or resting starters, and following a bad run of results and a handful of controversies, including a now-suspended transfer ban, per The Daily Mail's Pete Jenson, things are looking up for the club again.
