Manchester United and Barcelona face each other this Thursday (9:00 p.m. Movistar Champions League) in the second leg of the round of 32 of the Europa League.
After the draw (2-2) at the Camp Nou last week, the clash at Old Trafford is presented as a toss-up for the future in the competition for both teams.
Xavi's team seeks to avoid another European disappointment against a Manchester United that arrives in top form and with a stellar Rashford.
The Catalans have significant casualties.
Added to the absence of Dembelé are those of Gavi and Pedri, two pillars for Xavi in midfield.
Sergi Roberto and Kessie replace them in the eleven, which maintains the four midfielders.
Araujo and Busquets return rested to lead the team, after not participating in the last league match against Cádiz.

Barcelona's visit to Old Trafford has tightened the rope within the club with the most fans in the United Kingdom.
The owners, the American brothers Joel and Avram Glazer, pull the cable on one side, while the trainer, the Dutchman Erik ten Hag, pulls the other.
The possibility of conflict beats strongly before a day marked with enthusiasm by the fans.
Ten Hag craves the prestige that beating Barça confers.
But the owners have asked him through his internal intermediaries to put the substitute team, rule out the Europa League, and concentrate his forces on the Premier and on winning the League Cup final next Sunday.

In the Barcelona Sports City, at that time, they began to highlight the competitive capacity of the Uruguayan center-back.
Until one day the love was definitive.
In a duel against Mallorca, after scoring the Barça goal, Araujo could not avoid the victory of the Balearic team.
