Another title is on the line for Barcelona as they look for the fifth trophy of 2015, this time playing the Spanish Supercup against Athletic Bilbao, with the first of two legs to be contested on Friday. Both teams have tactical decisions to make, so we take a look at what lineups the coaches might choose, and why.
First, the hosts:
Athletic Club (4-2-3-1)
Coach Ernesto Valverde has ultra-important players missing the game: four certain starters -- midfielders Iturraspe, Muniain and Rico, along with prospect striker Iñaki Williams -- are unlikely to feature on either of the two legs due to injuries, which forces the use of backups on his midfield to deal with Barça's powerful game through the middle.
