Barcelona look to proceed their sturdy begin to La Liga because the Catalans will attempt for a 3rd straight win after they welcome Rayo Vallecano to Camp Nou.
Right here’s how we expect Hansi Flick will line up his troops for Monday’s battle:
We’re not anticipating too many modifications, if in any respect, from the workforce that performed so effectively towards Athletic. Hansi Flick likes to maintain the rhythm going when issues are going effectively, and we’re nonetheless too early within the season to consider rotations.
There could possibly be a change on the again, nevertheless, with Gerard Martín popping out of the aspect and Andreas Christensen beginning at center-back alongside Pau Cubarsí. Eric Garcia appears to be Flick’s favourite selection for the beginning right-back spot, and Xavi Espart is just enjoying too effectively and deserves to stay at left-back.
Midfield is anticipated to stay unchanged with Marc Bernal on the pivot and Pedri beginning a second straight sport together with Fermín López, who has been completely on fireplace to start out the season. Rodri and Dani Olmo shall be combating for his or her spots quickly sufficient, however they’re nonetheless not fairly absolutely match sufficient to play from the beginning.
Anthony Gordon made his full debut towards Athletic Membership and had a incredible efficiency, and he’ll seemingly keep within the workforce for this one. Lamine Yamal performed all 90 minutes in midweek and can get one other begin to proceed constructing his health, and Raphinha appears very comfy as a striker and can begin as soon as once more up high.
Doable XI: Joan; Eric, Cubarsí, Christensen, Espart; Fermín, Bernal, Pedri; Yamal, Raphinha, Gordon (4-3-3)
