Barcelona possible 11:
ter Stegan, Koundé, Araujo, Christensen, Alba, Kessie, de Jong, Pedri, Raphinha, Lewandowski and Pedri
Manchester United possible 11:
De Gea, Malacia, Shaw, Varane, Dalot, Casemiro, Fred, Rashford, Fernandes, Sancho and Weghorst
Prediction: Barcelona 2-1 Man United
Winning at Camp Nou has been one of the most difficult results for any top European side.
Barcelona’s winning run since the loss to Bayern last year has made them one of the most improved sides in Europe. Likewise for United since their poor start to the season.
We give Barcelona the edge here and can see them nicking this by the odd goal in three.
Their quality is the attacking third and mid-fielder could snatch the contest away from Ten Hag’s side.
Players to watch out for: Pedri, Lewandowski, Rashford and Casemiro.
