Xavi has insisted Barcelona are not in crisis as they look to get their campaign back on track against Alaves.
Pressure has mounted on the Barca boss after an El Clasico defeat was followed by an unconvincing win over Real Sociedad and a midweek Champions League loss to Shakhtar Donetsk.
Reports in the Catalan media claimed the squad had a players-only meeting on Wednesday night to discuss their issues.
But Xavi, whose side trail LaLiga leaders Girona by four points and still top their Champions League group, believes he faced bigger problems last season when he also came in for criticism before leading the club to the Spanish title.
“I had the worst moment as a coach last year,” he said at his pre-match press conference on Saturday.
“What is happening now is not a crisis or anything like that.
“I have experienced terrible crises here and this is not it.
“You almost get used to criticism. This is Barca and you have to accept criticism.
“We have had two bad games and you have to be honest. We haven’t been up to par.”
Xavi is confident the players remain united and believes he has diagnosed the problem.
He said: “We’ve detected the issue. We have to get back to positional play and be more meticulous than ever. That’s how we’ll get better.
“The players are ready. They’re mentally prepared. This is a fantastic group.
“I’ve been in a lot of dressing rooms and this is one of the healthiest and most united I’ve ever seen. We are highly motivated.”
Xavi will again be without the injured Frenkie de Jong on Sunday, while his fellow midfielder Gavi serves a one-match ban after picking up five yellow cards.
But Pedri is “100 per cent”, according to Xavi, and could make his first start since August after coming through two substitute appearances against Real Sociedad and Shakhtar.
Key to Barca’s hopes of hitting form could be getting Robert Lewandowski back among the goals.
The Poland striker is in the middle of his worst goal drought in over a decade having not scored in his last six matches.
Xavi said: “He is in 100 per cent condition. He’s affected by the lack of positional play.
“We haven’t attacked well and we didn’t look after Robert like how we used to do.”
Alaves sit 14th in LaLiga and their only away win this season came against seventh-tier opponents Deportiva Murcia in the Copa del Rey.
Ben Stokes and Joe Root led England to 337 for nine against Pakistan as they attempted to end their World Cup – and their era – on a high in Kolkata.
England’s chaotic and unsuccessful title defence will not carry on to the semi-finals and it is widely expected that the core of the team that conquered this tournament in 2019 will now begin to break up after this game.
But two central pillars of the golden days came to the fore here, Stokes following up his century against Netherlands by crashing 84 and Root adding a workmanlike 60 as he became the first English batter to reach 1,000 World Cup runs.
Like many of their fellow thirtysomethings they face an uncertain future in ODI cricket, with a fresh-faced squad set to be announced on Sunday for the forthcoming tour of the West Indies, but they ensured their side did not slink meekly into the past tense.
Stokes will never forget Eden Gardens, where he was hammered for four successive sixes in the final, decisive over of the T20 World Cup in 2016, but he added a few happier memories this time with 11 fours and two maximums of his own.
The second was a staggering stroke, switching his hands and reverse-scooping Agha Salman over the ropes at deep third.
Stokes earlier saw a return catch put down by Shaheen Shah Afridi on 10 but knuckled down with Root to share a run-a-ball stand of 132 for the third wicket.
That gave the England innings its foundations before a flurry of action at the death.
In the last 10 overs there were nine fours, five sixes and seven wickets as the game accelerated into a highlights package.
Jos Buttler (27 off 18 balls), Harry Brook (30 off 17) and the retiring David Willey (15 off five) all hit out then got out as Pakistan played their part.
Haris Rauf had a busy time, carrying a catch into the boundary rope to spare Buttler only to make amends with a superb direct run-out, and finishing with three for 64.
Dawid Malan (31) and Jonny Bairstow (59) put on England’s most productive powerplay of the tournament in the first 10 overs, finally getting their tempo right at the same time.
Graham Lee is in intensive care after suffering a neck injury in a fall at Newcastle on Friday evening.
The rider was taken to hospital after being unseated from his mount Ben Macdui as the stalls opened for BetUK. Home Of The Acca-Fenwa Handicap.
A statement from the Injured Jockeys Fund said: “Graham was taken by ambulance to the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle, where he is in intensive care with a neck injury.
“He will undergo further tests today to assess the extent of the injury.”
Lee has ridden under both codes during his lengthy career, with Amberleigh House propelling him onto the front pages in 2004 after the pair won the Grand National for legendary trainer Ginger McCain.
The rider also enjoyed a successful partnership with staying hurdler Inglis Drever, counting the 2005 World Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival among their seven victories together, while the Ferdy Murphy-trained pair of Another Promise and Kalahari King were also Grade One scorers.
Lee switched his attentions to the Flat in 2012, also striking Group One gold with Trip To Paris in the 2015 Gold Cup at Royal Ascot and Alpha Delphini in the 2018 Nunthorpe.
He had his best season on the Flat in 2014 when he rode 159 winners, with 47 victories on the board this campaign.
Roberto De Zerbi says Brighton are fighting hard to keep their hopes of domestic and European success alive.
The Seagulls squad is being tested to the limit but is so far holding up well, with their victory away to Ajax on Thursday putting them second in their Europa League group.
They are seventh in the Premier League heading into Sunday’s home match against Sheffield United at the Amex Stadium, and De Zerbi knows his players and staff will have to dig deep.
“We are fighting, we are second in our Europa League group and seventh in the Premier League,” he said in quotes published on the club’s X account.
“We lost three important players in the summer and we’re playing three games a week. It’s a tough season, but we are fighting.
“When you aren’t used to the Europa League, you need to focus on the next game. We have to win in the Premier League.
“Clean sheets are an important part of football, but we have to analyse better because we couldn’t keep a clean sheet a lot of times this season.”
The only clean sheets Brighton have managed have been against Ajax home and away. The 20 goals they have conceded in the Premier League so far is the highest number for any team inside the top 10.
Brighton are set to be without defenders Pervis Estupinan and Lewis Dunk, plus midfielder James Milner, against the Blades on Sunday.
Ecuador international Estupinan made his return from a muscle injury that had sidelined him since September 30 as a substitute in Thursday’s Europa League win away to Ajax, but only lasted 12 minutes before being forced off again.
Dunk came off at half-time in Amsterdam with a possible groin injury, while veteran Milner came off in the eighth minute.
“The injuries are a terrible situation, but we can’t change anything,” De Zerbi said.
“We have to focus on the game on Sunday, it’s one of the most important this season.”
Victor Wembanyama will be a "real, real problem" in the NBA, so says Rudy Gobert.
Top draft pick Wembanyama has been earning plenty of plaudits from big names around the NBA in the early weeks of his maiden season with the San Antonio Spurs.
The 19-year-old is averaging 19.9 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game, though he could not lift the Spurs to victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday.
It was Gobert's Wolves who ran out 177-110 winners in the first in-season tournament game for both teams.
And Gobert believes his fellow Frenchman is already proving just how good he could be.
"I think his positioning is way ahead of the positioning of a rookie," Gobert said.
"You can tell that he is well coached and also that he is studying the game. That will only get better throughout the year. He's already affecting [shots], he's already getting in people's minds a bit defensively.
"He's going to be a real, real problem. He's already a problem, but I think he's going to be a real, real problem really soon.
"I'm really happy and proud of the way he's evolving and his progression.
"He's a competitor. He's a winner. All those things that, like I said, the way he works, his mindset, the way he studies the game. You add that to obviously the unique physical tools that he has. And I don't think we're going to see something like that for a while."
Indeed, Gobert thinks it is hard to know just how good Wembanyama might turn out to be.
"His approach, his dedication, the work that he puts in, the work he put in the last three months since the draft is paying off," Gobert said.
"I saw a big difference between summer league and preseason. You can tell he was in the gym, and not just in the gym, but he was doing the right thing.
"It's hard to imagine what [he's] going to be [like] after a couple years of working like he's doing. I can't even imagine how he's going to evolve."
Gobert and Wembanyama swapped jerseys after the game, which the latter finished with 29 points and nine rebounds.
"It feels special," Wembanyama said of his first matchup against Gobert.
"I know every night there's going to be one or two guys who are special to play against. But even more, it's someone that over the years has tried to take care of me and teach me some stuff. It was even more special and challenging."
Milton Harris has had his training licence suspended by the British Horseracing Authority pending a hearing in January.
The interim suspension comes after horses trained by the Warminster handler were not permitted to run at Ludlow on Thursday, with the BHA ruling Balboa and Giddyupadingdong were “not qualified” for their respective engagements.
A BHA spokesperson said: “Following a hearing before the chairperson of the independent judicial panel of the BHA, Mr Harris’s licence has been suspended pending a licensing committee hearing in January.
“This is as a result of a breach of the conditions on his licence and related matters.”
Harris, who started his training career in 2001, had a seven-year enforced absence from 2011 to 2018 due to financial issues.
Since returning to the sport he has saddled some notable winners, highlighted by Knight Salute, who claimed the 2022 Grade One Jewson Anniversary 4-y-o Juvenile Hurdle at Aintree along with three Grade Two victories that season.
Harris sent out Pyramid Place to win the Silver Trophy Handicap Hurdle at Chepstow last month and had his most recent runners at Plumpton on Monday.
Livingston manager David Martindale is hoping his struggling Livingston team can rise to the occasion and find a way of halting a Rangers side he feels are “in a good place” under new boss Philippe Clement.
The Ibrox team head to the Tony Macaroni Arena on Sunday in buoyant mood after winning five and drawing one of their six matches since the Belgian replaced Michael Beale last month.
“They’re unbeaten so that tells you everything you need to know,” said Martindale when asked what he has made of Rangers under Clement.
“He’s gone in and got a good start so that then breeds a bit of momentum, which breeds self-confidence and self-esteem in the players, so ultimately you’re probably getting better performances from the players.
“I think he’s done a very good job and they’re in a good place as a club.”
While Rangers have enjoyed a resurgence since their managerial change, Livingston have lost their last four matches to slip towards the foot of the cinch Premiership. Martindale hopes the big-game “buzz” can help them get back on track this weekend.
“You’re at home and you’ve got the opportunity to go and pick up three points against one of the biggest clubs in the league,” said the Lions boss.
“When either of the Old Firm come along to the Tony Mac, there’s always a buzz and then when you bring in Sky (TV) there’s an extra buzz about the game.
“It kind of lifts the atmosphere throughout the training week and you probably find the players are a wee bit more at it and there are not as many players in the physio’s room in the lead-up to the game.
“It brings a different kind of matchday atmosphere.”
Ty Lue is sure the Los Angeles Clippers will soon find a way to make things work with James Harden in the team.
The Clippers lost for a third straight game on Friday, going down 126-144 to the Dallas Mavericks.
That was despite a fast start from Los Angeles, who had built a 12-point lead with 1:53 remaining of the first quarter.
"What's the worst that you can be?" Lue asked when reflecting on the rest of his team's display, as they were put to the sword by Luka Doncic's 44 points.
Yet the Clippers coach feels wins will soon come as Paul George, Kawhi Leonard and Russell Westbrook gain some rhythm with Harden.
"I'm telling you, it's going to be good," said Lue, who rested his starters in the final quarter given the Clippers were trailing by 26 points.
"That's all right. We'll be all right. They better take advantage of it now."
Leonard echoed the sentiment, with the two-time NBA champion saying: "I'm still confident.
"I still feel like we're learning each other, the whole players and coaching staff, and you see a little bit of good things in the game tonight, even last game, having some good leads.
"We're just not sustaining it and once we figure it out, we're going to keep it rolling. So we've all got to stay afloat and stay confident and keep pushing one another to keep that mindset on the goal.
"We have four guys on the floor that are used to having a ball, used to finding a rhythm just by feeling and touching it all game.
"Just playing more, you'll start to figure out, OK, this guy needs this spot here or he got it going, let me buy in into another part of the game where I can make us win."
Leonard led the Clippers with 26 points, with Harden and Westbrook each chipping in with 14. George, though, could only score eight points, adding three rebounds and two assists, in his 23 minutes on the court.
"I feel like you got to learn to just adjust," George said. "It's not from a 'like' standpoint, it's just he's trying this out, too.
"We're all trying to try this out and so I don't know. I don't know, I'm out there to try to just learn on the fly, figure it out on the fly as we all are.
"So I'm rolling with what T-Lue sees out there and again, at some point it's going to work and nobody's going to talk about the rotations and guys on the floor and personnel."
Harden, too, acknowledged it will take time to fully adjust.
"Just getting used to it," he said. "There's just so many great talented players on this team, I got to find a way to still be aggressive, generating shots or creating shots for myself, as well.
"The first quarter felt really good on both ends of the ball, and then from there it went downhill. So trying to find a balance of not trying to step on anyone's toes, but just trying to still be aggressive and be myself.
"It's a process, but it's definitely a little frustrating. We do like to win games."
Jurgen Klopp admits Liverpool are still not the finished article after a week of setbacks provided a dose of reality.
After snatching a late draw against newcomers Luton last weekend, a much-changed side slipped to their first Europa League defeat at Toulouse in midweek.
Liverpool have failed to win only five of 17 matches this season and they have have a 100 per cent record in eight at Anfield in all competitions but Klopp knows they have to avoid unnecessary hiccups like those of the last few days.
“Things are going in the right direction but we are not there yet. We are not as stable as I wish but that’s normal as well,” he said.
“Generally we are in a positive situation and it is important to learn to deal with that. There has been a lot of praise.
“It really feels like this (Toulouse) and Luton is a real learning curve. I wish it would not be necessary, to be honest. I wish we would learn it quickly.
“We can be a really good team. We have shown that. We cannot have what happened (in Toulouse): we were not aggressive enough. It was as easy as that.
“We can lose a game but we have to use it to learn the right things. To win a football game, you need to be aggressive.”
Liverpool’s all-new midfield has impressed having only been assembled in pre-season but the pressure on the likes of Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch has been increased recently.
Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic were already long-term absentees but with the unfortunate Curtis Jones out until after the international break, Gravenberch’s availability against Brentford in the balance due to a knee injury and Mac Allister suspended on Sunday, resources are looking thin.
That is without taking into account first-choice left-back Andy Robertson’s absence until the new year after shoulder surgery.
When the Premier League campaign resumes after the international break Liverpool have 11 matches in 38 days – starting at Manchester City and including two European ties which would have been rendered dead rubbers had the team won in southern France.
“Now it’s just important we get through this period until the international break and then after with as (few) injuries as possible because the games are coming thick and fast,” added Klopp.
“It’s crazy how many we have to play and we need them all (the squad). You will see them all.”
Liverpool have had their difficulties against Brentford before, notably in a 3-1 defeat away from home in January, and even with striker Ivan Toney serving a long-term suspension Klopp is wary of the threat they pose.
“Sometimes I remember bad things but in this specific case not really. Pretty sure it was not good,” said the Reds boss regarding that game.
“Super-challenging to play Thomas Frank and Brentford for different reasons. I’m not sure they are 100 per cent happy with the season but losing Ivan Toney and the player he was for them is really brutal.
“But they are mid-table, which is probably what Brentford wants getting through this situation and when he is coming back, using him again.
“They are well-organised, sensational at set-pieces and have really offensive players and really fast counter-attacking.
“It is always interesting and difficult as well. But it is Anfield and we should use that.”
Pep Guardiola expects Chelsea to be back challenging for the title in the near future.
Chelsea last won the Premier League during Guardiola’s first season at Manchester City in 2016-17.
Since then it is City who have dominated the competition, taking the crown in five of the past six campaigns.
Chelsea did edge out City in the 2021 Champions League final but there has been plenty of turbulence at the London club since, and they currently sit 10th in the table.
Guardiola, who takes his side to Stamford Bridge on Sunday, said: “Chelsea remain one of the more important teams in England.
“It’s true that in the Premier League they were not close to winning it in these last seasons but they’re still one of the strongest teams, there’s no doubts about that.
“I see that in the last games they are alive, they have good spirit, they are aggressive, they have a good pattern. The quality is there.
“It’s one of the toughest games that we have during the season. Sooner or later Chelsea will be there fighting for the titles, and I guess sooner than later.”
Chelsea have had a rocky start to the campaign under new manager Mauricio Pochettino but Guardiola has no doubt they will come on strong.
He said: “It’s normal. They are getting better. Every manager needs his time – it’s a new club, new players but they’ll be a top contender because the quality in all departments is there.”
Two of Chelsea’s better performers this season have been the former City pair of Cole Palmer and Raheem Sterling.
City academy product Palmer, 21, switched clubs in August having grown frustrated at a lack of opportunities at the Etihad Stadium.
Guardiola said: “The reason why was that he wanted game time. Now he has it, so congratulations.
“He’s a guy who came from the academy and if he is having success it’s good for him and we wish him the best. I’m really pleased for him.”
Sterling won four Premier League titles and the FA Cup at City and Guardiola recognises him as a dangerman this weekend.
Guardiola said: “He’s playing really good, he’s back in his best moments, best performance, (from) what I’ve seen lately.
“He always creates incredible dangers for the opponents.”
Maia Lumsden is relishing her “unbelievable” Billie Jean King Cup call-up 18 months after recovering from long Covid.
The 25-year-old Scot was bed-bound for several months after an initially mild bout of coronavirus in October 2020 turned into something much more debilitating.
She feared her career could be over but was finally able to make a tentative return to the court last spring and happily that turned into a full-time comeback.

Earlier this week, she was rewarded for an excellent season in doubles, including a run to the quarter-finals of Wimbledon, with a first call-up for Great Britain for this weekend’s play-off against Sweden in London.
“During that period, I didn’t think I would get back to playing for a while so to now be in the GB team’s obviously unbelievable,” Lumsden told the PA news agency.
“I feel like it hasn’t really fully sunk in, the last four weeks I’ve played four tournaments in a row, so I feel like it’s come around pretty quick.
“It’s a huge moment for me. It’s an amazing feeling to get selected for GB for the first time and get to be in this team with all the other girls is really cool. A lot of them are really experienced and have played a lot of ties so it’s great to be around everyone.
“The first time I saw professional tennis was the Davis Cup ties at Braehead (in Glasgow) so I’ve always loved team competitions and it’s been a goal to get in a team like this because that was what inspired me when I was younger.”
With Katie Boulter, Jodie Burrage, Harriet Dart and Heather Watson also in the team, Lumsden is unlikely to feature in a match, but it will still be a very proud moment for her family in the stands at the Copper Box.
“They’re going to come down to watch the tie,” she said. “I think everyone’s very happy, everyone close to me that saw those tough moments. It feels like a great turnaround.
“When things are tough at tournaments, I try to remember that they were a lot tougher before.”
Lumsden was one of Britain’s most promising juniors and had hoped for a top career in singles but, with her doubles ranking now at 74, making her Britain’s number one, her focus has switched.
The less physically demanding form of the sport has also proved a better fit, with Lumsden still wary of over-extending herself.
“When I was coming back, I was picking up small injuries, I guess because I was out for such a long period of time,” she said.
“Doubles definitely suits that a lot more. It’s easier physically. I can manage the loads more. Sometimes I still have a little bit more fatigue than I think’s normal. I am still careful with my training, I don’t push it too much.
“That was one of my goals for this year…just to try to do everything I can to stay healthy, to get a full season.”
Lumsden has formed a very promising partnership with fellow British player Naiktha Bains, and the pair will look to build on their progress in 2024.
Their run at Wimbledon made them the first all-British duo to reach the last eight of the women’s doubles for 40 years and Lumsden said: “It’s been really exciting.
“Having that breakthrough at Wimbledon was great, just allowing us to play in those bigger WTA tournaments. That changed the rest of the year. It’s been great to experience all these new things.”
LeBron James defied his age again with 32 points, 11 rebounds and six assists as the Los Angeles Lakers rallied for a 122-119 win over the Phoenix Suns to snap a three-game skid.
The 38-year-old James was 11 of 17 from the field, including 3 of 4 on 3-pointers, and played a team-high 36 minutes, 23 seconds.
Kevin Durant scored 38 points and Bradley Beal had 24 for the Suns, who again played star Devin Booker for the fourth straight game.
Austin Reaves’ layup with 9:25 remaining was part of a 14-0 run and gave the Lakers their first lead of the second half at 97-96.
Cam Reddish scored 17 points and hit a corner 3 on a pass from James to extend Los Angeles’ lead to 118-113 with 70 seconds to go.
Anthony Davis returned after missing one game with a hip injury and had 18 points, 11 boards and four assists.
76ers beat Pistons for 7th straight win
The 76ers and Pistons continued to head in opposite directions as Joel Embiid had 33 points and 16 rebounds in Philadelphia’s 114-106 victory.
Tyrese Maxey has 29 points, 10 assists and no turnovers and former Piston Tobias Harris added 24 points as the 76ers won their seventh straight since a season-opening loss at Milwaukee.
Killian Hayes scored 23 points and Cade Cunningham had 21 for the Pistons, who dropped their seventh in a row and lost center Jalen Duren to an ankle injury.
Philadelphia closed the third quarter with a 15-6 run to go ahead 83-77 and outscored Detroit 35-21 in the period behind 16 points from Embiid.
Streaking Timberwolves overcome Wembanyama, Spurs
Karl-Anthony Towns had 29 points and 12 rebounds and the Minnesota Timberwolves won their fifth straight, 117-110 over the San Antonio Spurs despite 29 points from Victor Wembanyama.
Anthony Edwards added 28 points for Minnesota, which notched it first road win of the season to go with impressive home victories over Boston and Denver.
Wembanyama was 12 of 21 from the field and 3 for 7 on 3-pointers, while adding nine boards, four assists and four blocks.
Devin Vassell scored a career-high 29 points for San Antonio in his return to the starting lineup after missing two games with a strained left groin and coming off the bench in Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks.
Stuart Lancaster resigned as England head coach on this day in 2015 after his side’s poor showing at the Rugby World Cup.
England became the first host nation to be knocked out at the pool stage after a 28-25 defeat to Wales and a 33-13 loss to Australia at Twickenham.
A Rugby Football Union inquest into England’s performances saw Lancaster sacked after three years in the job – he took over from 2003 World Cup winner Martin Johnson in 2012.
“I ultimately accept and take responsibility for the team’s performance,” Lancaster said after stepping down.
“I took on the role in difficult circumstances and it has been a huge challenge to transition the team with many hurdles along the way.
“However, I am immensely proud of the development of this team and I know that there is an incredibly strong foundation for them to progress to great things in the future.”
RFU chief executive Ian Ritchie said: “The Rugby World Cup was hugely disappointing for everyone associated with the England team and the subsequent review into the team’s performance was always intended to be extremely comprehensive, which it has been.”
Eddie Jones, who helped Japan to a historic 34-32 victory over South Africa in 2015, took over as England head coach and led them to the 2019 Rugby World Cup final in Japan before he departed in 2022 following a poor run of form.
Matthew Tkachuk, Aleksander Barkov and Carter Verhaeghe each had a goal and an assist to lead the Florida Panthers to a 5-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes in a rematch of last season's Eastern Conference finals on Friday.

Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Sebastian Aho scored for the Hurricanes, which entered having won five of six.
The Panthers have won 10 of the last 12 meetings in the series, including all four in last season’s playoffs.
Golden Knights blank Sharks to avoid third straight loss
Alec Martinez scored twice and Adin Hill made 20 saves for his second shutout in three games as the Vegas Golden Knights got back on track with a 5-0 rout of the San Jose Sharks.
Alex Pietrangelo had a goal and two assists for the Knights, who were coming off consecutive losses following an 11-0-1 start to the season.
The Sharks failed in a bid to win three straight after they went winless in their first 11 games (0-10-1).
Vegas has dominated the all-time series with San Jose, going 22-2-5.
Capitals score 2 in 15 seconds, hold off Devils
