Barcelona head to Rayo Vallecano in La Liga action on August 31 in their final outing before the September international break.
Hansi Flick's side have won both games this season with victories on the road at Mallorca and Levante already this month.
However, they were made to work for three points in the latter last weekend, rallying back from 2-0 at halftime to claim the win.
Clasico rivals Real Madrid have matched them with two wins from two and the defending champions will face a stern test in Vallecas.
Rayo face their first home game of the campaign after winning at Girona on the opening weekend and slipping to defeat at Athletic Club last time out.
Rayo Vallecano vs. Barcelona lineups: Predicted starting XI, team news, injury latest
Rayo boss Inigo Perez named an unchanged starting lineup in the first two league games of the season and he could stick with that against Flick's visitors, although he will have to balance the need to rest some players after Thursday's UEFA Conference League playoff second-leg win.
The hosts have no fresh injury concerns, with Abdul Mumin a long-term absentee due to a knee issue, and key duo Jorge de Frutos and Isi Palazon fit to start.
Rayo Vallecano predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Batalla (GK) — Ratiu, Lejeune, Felipe, Chavarria — Ciss, Lopez — Palazon, Diaz, Garcia — De Frutos
Injured: Mumin (knee)
Suspended: None
Flick has rotated his options in between the wins at Mallorca and Levante, but his starting core has remained unchanged this season.
Marcus Rashford made his first start at Levante but was replaced at halftime, and the fit-again Robert Lewandowski is on course to lead the attack. The Poland international has been eased back into action following a muscle injury.
Frenkie de Jong is also back following the birth of his second child.
