There is just one change to the Barcelona side who beat rivals Real Madrid 4-0 in El Classico this weekend – and it’s a significant one.

Vicky Lopez drops out as three-time Ballon d’Or winner Aitana Bonmati returns to the starting XI.

Key midfielder Patri Guijarro is absent through injury, which is a big loss for Barcelona, but there’s still plenty of talent in the squad.

Barcelona XI: Coll, Batlle, Paredes, Leon, Brugts, Bonmati, Aleixandri, Putellas, Graham Hansen, Pajor, Pina.

Subs: Gemma, Txell, Schertenleib, Serrajordi, Nazareth, Lopez, Camara, Cano, Fenger, Carla Julia.
