First squad selection.

Ter Stegen, Neto, I?aki Pe?a, Piqu?, Araujo, Busquets, Riqui Puig, Memphis, Demir, Coutinho, Lenglet, Luuk de Jong, Alba, Sergi Roberto, Frenkie de Jong, Mingueza, Umtiti, Eric Garcia y los j?venes Nico, Gavi, Balde, Ilias y Abde

In the end Jutgla didn't make it and both Ilias and Abde did.

Sport are predicting this lineup
---- Stegen ----
Mingueza - Pique - Eric - Alba
---- Busquets ----
- Nico --- Frenkie -
Gavi ----------- Abde
------- Memphis -------

Araujo been fit a while now and didn't play much with Uruguay. Should be starting unless Xavi thinks he's affected by the travelling.

Eight hours before the derby, Bar?a is already concentrated in a hotel next to Camp Nou. Another new Xavi. They will all come by bus together.

Calling Frenkie f9 right now!
I hope Depay is used as a winger, and Gavi should probably not be. Abde didn't look like a professional footballer the minutes he got before. It would be interesting to see Puig from the start. Mingueza shouldn't play RB, I guess Roberto is the only alternative then.

Its tough for me to even tell the formation though. I don't know if Sport has any more clue, but their players could also line up in that 3-4-3 formation Xavi has apparently used (Alba and Abde as wingers then, Gavi and Frenkie as AMCs)

If Puig doesn't start today that should be it, right? No more discussions :p

Given that Gavi starts in the front 3 (preferably on the left), I honestly wouldn't mind Puig though. 2 of Nico/Busquets/Frenkie and Puig looks more natural than 3 of them.

Don't see much room for Puig atm
Doesn't mean he won't eventually become a starter
