Barcelona are going back-to-back at the Camp Nou tonight in consecutive gameweeks as they take on Osasuna in gameweek 33 of La Liga.

Jagoba Arraste’s men have exceeded expectations this season, currently sitting in 9th place. For Barcelona, however, it is a chance to go 14 points clear on top of the table.

Xavi has not made any changes to the lineup that beat Real Betis 4-0 at the Camp Nou last on the weekend.

Frenkie de Jong starts in the middle of the park, accompanied by Sergio Busquets and Pedri. Franck Kessie continues on the bench in favour of the first-choice midfield, yet again.

In attack, meanwhile, Robert Lewandowski spearheads the attack, with Raphinha on the right-wing. Gavi gets the nod on the left side of the attacking trio, while Ousmane Dembele is waiting on the bench yet again.

Jules Kounde retains his spot as the right-back, while Ronald Araujo starts in central defence with Andreas Christensen. Alejandro Balde has been picked over Jordi Alba as the left-back, screening Marc-Andre ter Stegen in goal.
