Team News: Four Barcelona changes at Villarreal

Four Barcelona changes at Villarreal

Luis Enrique has made four changes to his Barcelona side for this afternoon's trip to Villarreal in La Liga.

Three of the alterations from the midweek Champions League win over Arsenal come in the backline as Claudio Bravo, Sergi Roberto and Gerard Pique come in for Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Dani Alves and Jeremy Mathieu.

In midfield, the injured Andres Iniesta drops out to be replaced by Arda Turan.

The main news for Villarreal is that Samu Castillejo has been passed fit to start despite limping out of their 0-0 draw with Bayer Leverkusen on Thursday night, but there is a change in central midfield as Manu Trigueros replaces Tomas Pina.

Villarreal: Asenjo; Mario, Ruiz, Bailly, Rukavina; Castillejo, Trigueros, Bruno, Suarez; Soldado, Bakambu Subs: Barbosa, Pina, Baptistao, Adrian, Bonera, Marin, Pedraza

Barcelona: Bravo; Roberto, Pique, Mascherano, Alba; Rakitic, Busquets, Turan; Neymar, Suarez, Messi Subs: Ter Stegen, Alves, Munir, Adriano, Vidal, Mathieu
