Official: Barcelona starting lineup against Leganes | La Liga GW 31 | OneFootball

FC Barcelona will be aiming to stretch their lead at the top of the La Liga table to seven points as they take on CD Leganes away from home in a little over an hour.

Ahead of kickoff at Estadio Municipal de Butarque, Barça manager Hansi Flick has announced the starting lineup with a couple of tweaks made to the team that started against Borussia Dortmund in midweek.

For starters, Pau Cubarsi has been rested by the Barcelona head coach, with Ronald Araujo taking his place in the team alongside Inigo Martinez, while Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde complete the backline shielding Wojciech Szczesny.

The second alteration comes in midfield where Frenkie de Jong has been given a breather, with Eric Garcia replacing him as Pedri’s partner in the centre of the park.

Fermin Lopez has once again been picked ahead of Gavi in the No. 10 position while the in-form attacking trio of Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Robert Lewandowski remains intact.

Players like Ferran Torres, Gavi, and Ansu Fati will be hoping for some minutes in the second half.
