FC Barcelona will be aiming to exact revenge when they take on Las Palmas later tonight at Gran Canaria in La Liga.
The Blaugrana fell to a 2-1 defeat the last time they faced the Canary Islands club at Montjuic and will be eager to get their lick back by securing all three points tonight, which would see them open up a lead at the top of the table.
Ahead of kickoff, manager Hansi Flick has announced the starting lineup for the game, with there being some changes made keeping an eye on the Copa del Rey semi-final against Atletico Madrid next week.
Jules Kounde is back in the side after being benched vs. Rayo Vallecano as punishment for being late to a team meeting. He replaces Hector Fort at right-back while Alejandro Balde continues on the left side.
Eric Garcia comes into the team starting as Pau Cubarsi’s partner at the heart of the defence, with Inigo Martinez being given a rest. Ronald Araujo also remains on the bench. Wojciech Szczesny continues in goal.
Pedri holds on to his spot in the centre of the park but has a change of partners as Marc Casado replaces Frenkie de Jong in the second pivot position for Barcelona.
Fermin Lopez, back after serving a one-match ban, starts as the No. 10 in place of Gavi, who is rested by Flick. Dani Olmo also remains on the bench.
There are no alterations in the attacking line as Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, and Lamine Yamal continue for Barcelona. Ferran Torres and Pau Victor are options from the bench.
