With Messi and Alba two important players for the offensive output are missing. Eibar is playing either 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 this season. They have been using 4-4-2 especially against stronger opposition (Madrid, Sevilla, La Real, Getafe to name a few), so Koeman might stick to the 3-5-2 for another game.

Firpo hasn't impressed at all. Him playing the wingback role at Betis made Barca attentive to him which may be another reason for Koeman choosing 3 at the back with Dembele coming back from injury and probably not playing from the start. Maybe we'll see a 3-5-2 with Braithwaite and Griezmann up front in first half and a system switch in second half with Dembele getting at least half an hour.

Be interesting to see the 352 if they go one up top as will surely have to push one of CBs into midfield and then FDJ/Pjanic a bit further forward from there.

Mingueza would guess be the one.

Time for Griezmann to step up a bit as couldnt pick a better role for him in team than this.
