Robert Lewandowski and Jordi Alba returned from domestic suspension for the dramatic penalty shootout win over Real Betis in Saudi Arabia.
Given the importance of this game, Barca boss Xavi is expected to name a strong starting lineup as he attempts to win the first trophy of the season and his first in charge of the Blaugrana.

Frenkie de Jong partnered Gavi and Pedri in midfield only a few days ago and that looks like the strongest trio available to Xavi, although Sergio Busquets’ big-game experience does offer competition.
Sergi Roberto was forced off injured, meaning there could be a defensive reshuffle tonight. Elsewhere, Raphinha and Ansu Fati are competing for the final spot alongside Lewandowski and Ousmane Dembele in the front three.
Predicted Barcelona XI (4-3-3): Ter Stegen; Araujo, Christensen, Garcia, Alba; De Jong, Pedri, Gavi; Raphinha, Lewandowski, Dembele.
