There are no changes to the group of outfield players who were in uniform for last weekend’s The Classicwhich means Eric García misses a fourth straight match as he recovers from a muscle problem. Also out for this one due to injury are Marc-André ter Stegen (knee), Ferran Torres (hamstring), Andreas Christensen (Achilles) and Marc Bernal (knee), while Ronald Araujo (hamstring) is back in training but still a few weeks away from getting the medical green light.

Predicted starting XI (4-3-3):

Pity; Kounde, Cubarsí, Iñigo, Martín; Olmo, De Jong, Pedri; Yamal, Lewandowski, Fati


The match kicks off at 4.15pm CET/WAT (Barcelona & Nigeria), 3.15pm GMT (UK), 10.15am ET, 7.15am PT (USA), 8.45pm IST (India), and you can join us to follow and comment all the action.
