Hansi Flick makes a very interesting call as Frenkie de Jong makes his first start of the season at CENTER-BACK alongside Pau Cubarsí, with Brian Fariñas making his full debut at right-back and Alejandro Balde surprisingly on the bench.

Elsewhere in the team, it's the starting midfield trio of Fermín, Rodri and Pedri and both Lamine Yamal and Raphinha up front with Anthony Gordon on the bench. Flick doesn't rotate and goes strong, hoping to wrap up the win early to make changes in the second half.

BARÇA XI: Joan; Fariñas, Cubarsí, De Jong, Cancelo; Fermín, Rodri, Pedri; Yamal, Raphinha, Adeyemi (4-3-3)
