La Liga Fixtures 2015 Week 5: Schedule, Live Stream Info, Picks and Key Players

There is a quick turnaround in La Liga for Week 5 of the 2015-16 action with a full set of fixtures getting underway on Tuesday, hot on the heels of the weekend's matches.

Barcelona remain the only side with a perfect record having won their opening four matches and they face a difficult test away at Celta Vigo on Wednesday.

Luis Suarez, Barcelona

Barcelona striker Suarez was rested at the weekend as the Catalans beat Levante 4-1 at the Camp Nou.

As noted by football journalist Rafael Hernandez, he should therefore be fully rested when Barca take on an in-form Celta side on Wednesday:

The Uruguayan's freshness could prove vital at the Estadio de Balaidos as Celta have looked terrific of late, dropping just two points so far this season and most recently beating Sevilla 2-1 away from home.

Despite the convincing nature of Barca's defeat of Levante on Sunday, they were far from clinical in the opening half.

Suarez will be vital in addressing that problem and he will look to provide an early goal to give Barca control in the game—they have yet to score a first-half league goal in the new campaign.

Barcelona can ensure they stay atop the La Liga table with a victory, and although they face a tricky task at Celta, the reunion of Suarez, Neymar and Lionel Messi should prove the game-changer.

Karim Benzema, Real Madrid

In the absence of a Cristiano Ronaldo goal it was left to Benzema to provide the killer blow on Saturday as he netted in Los Blancos' laboured 1-0 home win over Granada.

The Frenchman has now netted in each of his last four appearances for Real and his clinical finishing could be telling against an inconsistent Athletic side.

The Bilbao outfit have looked vulnerable at the back in the new term, conceding seven goals in four matches so far.

Benzema's movement and finishing could therefore prove vital in disrupting Athletic's back line and creating space for his team-mates to work in, or carving out chances for himself.

With the Madrid outfit having not conceded a goal so far this season they will surely frustrate the Athletic attack and it could well be that only one goal is needed for Rafael Benitez's men to clinch victory.

As Benzema is in such good goalscoring form, expect him to be the man who finds the vital breakthrough.

Antoine Griezmann, Atletico Madrid

Griezmann has had a terrific start to the season, and as Atleti meet Getafe at home on Tuesday, he threatens to be the key man.

Diego Simeone's men sit only three points back from Barcelona at the top of the La Liga table and will want to put pressure on the Catalans with a victory on Tuesday.

In five matches so far this season—four in the league and one in the Champions League—the 24-year-old Frenchman has netted three times and provided two assists, per WhoScored.com.

As noted by La Liga writer Andrew Gaffney he is proving himself on a consistent basis now and deserves to be viewed as a world-class player:

The likes of Jackson Martinez, Fernando Torres and Luciano Vietto benefit hugely from the creative presence of Griezmann.

He makes Atleti into a devastating attacking unit, and one that should prove too much for 14th-placed Getafe on Tuesday.
