Official: Barcelona starting lineup against Elche
Xavi has selected his troops for the away game against Elche today afternoon, and there are four changes from the team that beat Athletic Club 4-0 at home.
The first, and most predictable of these changes comes at left-back, where Jordi Alba returns from his suspension and replaces Sergino Dest. Dani Alves continues at right-back, while Ronald Araujo, Gerard Pique, and Marc-Andre ter Stegen also retain their spots as the last three in the defence.

Frenkie de Jong returns after being rested vs Athletic and starts alongside Pedri and Sergio Busquets.
Gavi has been pushed to left-wing, replacing Ferran Torres, who gets some much-needed rest. Adama Traore is also benched and is replaced by Ousmane Dembele on the right-wing. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the only one from the attack who keeps his spot at centre-forward.
Confirmed Barça XI: ter Stegen; Alves, Araujo, Pique, Alba; Pedri, Busquets, de Jong; Dembele, Aubameyang, Gavi
