Valverde had very little trouble with his squad selection this week with no fresh injury concerns following the loss at Levante. Sergi Samper, Thomas Vermaelen, Samuel Umtiti and Rafinha are long-term absentees due to injury, so the only real decision was to leave out Malcom, who will watch from the stands.

Predicted starting XI (4-3-3):

Ter Stegen; Roberto, Piqué, Lenglet, Alba; Rakitic, Busquets, Vidal; Messi, Suárez, Dembélé

---

The match kicks off at 6.30pm CET/WAT (Barcelona & Nigeria), 5.30pm GMT (UK), 12.30pm ET, 9.30am PT (USA), 11pm IST (India), and you can join us to follow and comment all the action.

VISCA EL BARÇA!
