How will Barcelona line up against Villarreal?

Barcelona play their first La Liga game of the season on Sunday when they take on Villarreal at the Camp Nou.

The Catalan giants saw their first two games of the season postponed but are now ready to make their first competitive outing under new boss Ronald Koeman.

Barca’s starting XI will look a little different too. There will be no Luis Suarez, no Ivan Rakitic, no Arturo Vidal and no Nelson Semedo either. Let’s look at who might feature:

Neto will continue in goal for Barcelona with usual first choice Marc-Andre ter Stegen out for a little while with a knee injury.
