The big news is that Frenkie de Jong is back in the starting lineup after not featuring against Mallorca due to some discomfort.

At the back, Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde line up as the two full-backs flanking the centre-back pairing of Pau Cubarsi and Eric Garcia, with Ronald Araujo featuring on the bench. Joan Garcia starts in goal as usual."
