Alexis Sanchez is back in the Barcelona starting XI as they face Espanyol in the Catalan derby this evening.
The Chile international was left out for the Clasico last weekend, but after coming off the bench and scoring the winner, the former Udinese man has taken his place in the team in place of Cesc Fabregas.
Elsewhere, following Adriano’s injury, Martin Montoya is named at left-back.
Barcelona: Valdes; Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Montoya; Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta; Alexis, Messi, Neymar
Espanyol: Kiko Casilla; Raúl R, Sidnei, H. Moreno, Fuentes; David López, Abraham, Víctor Sánchez; Thievy, Torje, S. García.
