    Would like to see Sanchez start if possible, and Alves rested maybe?

    Valdes

    Mascherano - Pique - Puyol

    Busquets

    Xavi - Iniesta

    Fabregas

    Sanchez - Messi - Villa

    Good thing is, Athletic will have 2 days less to prepare as they are playing Europa League in Salzburg, Austria.

    I wanna see 3-4-3 with Xavi, Iniesta, Cesc & Busquets. Puyol at RB. Give Alves a rest.

    BarcaBoy15 you're spot on

    Unless I'm getting things backwards, the right would be the side Muniain runs along. He only played the first half today (not sure why) of Athletic Club's win v. Red Bull Salzburg. If fit and in form, he'd be a handful for defenders.
    Estel is a meaniehead!

    He's been in great form (provided the cross for ander herrera's goal today for example). The fitness is the only real question and I just dunno what sort of shape the Athletic Club players will be in on Sunday.

    All that "great form" can become a thing of the past against Barcelona. I'm sure they'll be shaking in their boots.

    Athletic shaking at the thought of facing Barca's merry brand of midgets?

    Seriously though, Bielsa is the kind of coach that plays right into Barca's hands by actually wanting to outplay the opposition. We saw what happened to Villarreal, but as leaky as Athletic's back line is, they aren't Villarreal bad, and they are willing to get physical and dirty. I think Tiam was right about Capparos' Athletic being more of a pain style wise, but this is a very talented team Barca is facing.

    However they are young and suffering a lot of injuries to key players, so I would not bet on them right now. But Llorente is far from the only threat.

    Also Munian is the best player named Iker in La Liga.

    Even the mighty C Ronaldo craps himself against Barca (always).
