How Barcelona could line up against Real Madrid

Barcelona boss Xavi is expected to make changes to his starting XI for Sunday's Spanish Super Cup final with Real Madrid in Saudi Arabia.

The Catalan outfit have no injury concerns heading into the match, but they played 120 minutes in the competition's second semi-final on Thursday, ultimately needing penalties to overcome Real Betis.

As a result, it is likely that Xavi will freshen his side, with Sergio Busquets potentially returning in midfield.

Busquets could take Gavi's spot to start alongside Pedri and Frenkie de Jong, while Ansu Fati's impressive performance off the bench against Real Betis could see him come into the front three.

There are also expected to be a couple of changes at the back, with Andreas Christensen and Alejandro Balde possibly replacing Sergi Roberto and Jordi Alba.

Jules Kounde could therefore start at right-back, with Christensen potentially joining Ronald Araujo in the middle of the back four.

Ferran Torres, Marcos Alonso and Franck Kessie are also options for change, but the trio are expected to again be on the bench for the Catalan outfit.

Robert Lewandowski still has two games to serve on his league suspension, but the Poland is available for this competition, and he will again lead the line on Sunday.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Kounde, Araujo, Christensen, Balde; F de Jong, Busquets, Pedri; Dembele, Lewandowski, Fati
