Ernesto Valverde will take his men to Old Trafford as Barcelona face Manchester United in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final on Wednesday.
Ousmane Dembele picked up an injury against Lyon in March and has missed the fixtures since then.
The World Cup winner traveled with the squad and in his pre-match press conference, Valverde admitted he’s unsure if the forward will be fit to face the Red Devils.
However, the Blaugrana’s official website has confirmed the France international is “fit to face United”.
Mundo Deportivo and Sport have predicted Barcelona’s predicted lineup against United and neither of them have Dembele in their starting XI.
They have gone with a 4-3-3 formation and there has been only one change in the starting lineup of the two Catalan newspapers.
In the midfield, Mundo have predicted Ivan Raktic and Sergio Busquets to play alongside Arturo Vidal, while Sport have replaced the Chilean with Arthur.
Marc-André ter Stegen will start in goal and there is no surprise in this prediction with Gerard Pique and Clement Lenglet playing ahead of him in the heart of the back four. Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto are predicted to play as left-back and right-back respectively.
Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi will lead the attack along with Philippe Coutinho as the former Liverpool man is backed to start in place of Dembele.
Coutinho has struggled to impress in recent times for Barcelona and the clash against Manchester United could provide him with an opportunity to prove his worth.
