Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Manchester United

Barcelona will be looking to extend their unbeaten streak to 19 matches when they face Manchester United in the second leg of their Europa League playoff tie on Thursday night.

The first leg at Camp Nou proved to be one of the games of the season, Barcelona initially going ahead shortly after half time before eventually requiring a late equaliser to make it 2-2 on aggregate.

Xavi's team warmed up for this contest with a 2-0 victory over Cadiz on Sunday, a result which re-established their eight-point lead at the top of the La Liga standings.
