Ronald Koeman makes two changes to the team that started the game against Atletico Madrid as they get ready to take on Levante. Unsurprisingly, Ronald Araujo gets his place ahead of Oscar Mingueza as the right sided centre-back, while Gerard Pique and Clement Lenglet retain their spots in the central defence.

On paper, it looks like Ousmane Dembele will occupy the right-wingback role that has usually been taken by Sergino Dest this season. Jordi Alba continues on the left, flanking the midfield of Frenkie De Jong, Pedri, and Sergio Busquets. Busi picked up an injury vs Atleti in the first half, but has been deemed fit to start this encounter.

The lineup is rounded off by Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann, who start as the front-two in what seems to be a 3-5-2.

Confirmed XI: ter Stegen; Araujo, Pique, Lenglet; Dembele, de Jong, Busquets, Pedri, Alba; Messi, Griezmann

Barcelona have the chance to go top of the table, albeit temporarily so. This would help build pressure on Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, who play their respective games later on this gameweek. That said, all three clubs are still within a shot of the title, and the last matchday of the season has the potential to determine the outcome of the same.
