One Spanish journalist claims that Barcelona have nine nailed on starters ahead of their Europa League clash with Manchester United.
As for the hosts, United fans can expect Harry Maguire and Antony to return to the match-day squad. Maguire missed last week’s win over Leicester City, and the Brazilian winger has been sidelined for the past four games with an injury.
Whoever wins tonight’s clash at Old Trafford will find their name in the hat for the last-16 draw.

According to AS journalist Javier Miguel, says that Sergio Busquets, Franck Kessie and Frenkie de Jong will line up in midfield, in the absence of other options. Pedri and Gavi will both be missing from the Catalan giants’ midfield, with injury and suspension respectively.
Robert Lewandowski will lead the line up front, amid doubts of the Poland international’s fitness ahead of the tie. The 34-year-old will be joined on the front line by Raphinha.
In defence, Miguel claims that in front of goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Jules Kounde, Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen will look to guard the Barca net.
This leaves two more spaces in the Barcelona starting XI, with the left-back and left-wing situation not yet known by Miquel.
Alejandro Balde and Jordi Alba will likely battle it out to see who starts at left-back, and then left-wing will possibly be vacated by Ansu Fati or Ferran Torres.
