No surprises in Barcelona XI

All of Barcelona's big names have been included in the starting lineup for the Copa del Rey final against Sevilla in Madrid tonight.

The one change, as expected, has come between the posts with usual cup goalkeeper Marc Andre ter Stegen given the nod at the expense of Claudio Bravo.

Up front, the three-pronged attack of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar all feature, while Jordi Alba and Dani Alves will operate in the full-back positions.

As for Sevilla, Benoit Tremoulinas and Michael Krohn-Dehli both remain sidelined by knee complaints.

In the centre of the pitch, Steven N'Zonzi is suspended, which has seen Vicente Iborra come into the defensive midfield position.
