Luis Enrique was not happy with his lads after the 1-0 defeat at San Sebastian, but it was the manager himself who received the most criticism due to leaving Messi and Neymar on the bench. I don't think he will make the same mistake this time.
Barca routed Elche 3-0 at Camp Nou on the opening game of the season and chances are we'll see a similar result today in the Copa del Rey. I fancy Barca to play a good game following the weekend defeat and I fancy them to put at least 3 goals past Elche, even if Enrique will decide to give some players a break again.
Messi is reported in the stating lineup after not starting with Sociedad. The likes of Xavi, Munir and Suarez/Neimar are favorites to assist him.
Elche hasn't impressed anyone this season, they are terrible at defending and are sitting last in Primera. Haven't won a game in ages.
Barca 3-0 is the result that seems most probable.
