Line-ups: Valencia-Barcelona

Jeremy Mathieu is part of the Barcelona defence which faces Valencia in La Liga tonight.

The hosts' former defender replaces Marc Bartra in the La Blaugrana back four, having been rested for the midweek Champions League trip to APOEL.

Elsewhere, Sergio Busquets, Xavi and Neymar all return to the line-up in favour of fellow trio Javier Mascherano, Rafinha and Pedro Rodriguez.

Valencia, on the other hand, make two changes from last week's 2-1 defeat to Levante, as Dani Parejo and Sofiane Feghouli come in at the expense of Carles Gil and Pablo Piatti.

Los Che are also expected to match Barca with a 4-3-3 formation, switching from their usual 4-4-2.
