How will Barcelona line up against Rayo Vallecano in La Liga?

Barcelona look to extend their winning streak to begin the new La Liga season to three games when the Catalans make the trip to the Spanish capital to meet Rayo Vallecano on Tuesday night.

It’s a short turnaround time for Barça after an impressive display and victory against Athletic Bilbao, but the Blaugrana will look to get past the tired legs and get all three points in what is always a tough trip to Vallecas.

Here’s how we think Hansi Flick will line up his troops for Tuesday’s battle.
