Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has branded Getafe "a dangerous team" ahead of their La Liga meeting at the Camp Nou on Tuesday evening.

Barca have not beaten Getafe in their last two games, and the corresponding fixture last season ended in a 2-2 draw in May.

The Catalan outfit will enter the game as the strong favourites to claim all three points, but Enrique has called for focus against the capital side.

"They are a dangerous team. They defend with intensity and have quality in attack. Despite missing players they're nearly safe from relegation and I'm sure they'll create trouble for us," Enrique told reporters at a press conference.

Victory for Barcelona would again stretch their lead at the top of the table to five points, with Real Madrid not in action against Almeria until Wednesday.
