FC Barcelona return to action after the two-week hiatus later tonight when they take on Sevilla at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.
Having seen Real Madrid move level on points with them following a 2-1 victory over Celta Vigo on Saturday, Hansi Flick & co. will be eager to re-establish their lead at the top of the table.
With that in mind, the Barcelona manager has announced the starting lineup that will take the field tonight against Garcia Pimienta’s side.
As was confirmed on Saturday, Inaki Pena gets the nod in goal again ahead of new signing Wojciech Szczesny in the absence of Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Meanwhile, Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde continue as the two full-backs flanking the centre-back pairing of Pau Cubarsi and Inigo Martinez.
Moving into the centre of the park, Marc Casado starts as one of the two pivots for the home team, alongside Eric Garcia as Frenkie de Jong misses out due to a muscle problem.
Pedri continues in the central attacking midfield position from where he will look to dictate proceedings for Barça.
Meanwhile, the attacking unit has/has not seen any big changes either as Flick has opted/not opted to rest Lamine Yamal and/or Robert Lewandowski following the fitness issues they picked up during the international break.
