Eibar vs Barcelona: Expected Starting XI for end-of-season league clash
Barcelona will take on Eibar at Anoeta
The title race is over. So, Barcelona’s visit to Eibar will be inconsequential. But this tie offers Ernesto Valverde the chance to give some La Masia graduates an opportunity to get some minutes.
Many players have been called up from Barça B, while as many as 7 players are on the treatment table. Some notable players who are currently out of action include Luis Suárez, Marc-André ter Stegen and Ousmane Dembélé.

Jasper Cillessen will stay in the starting lineup after a knee injury suffered by Marc-André ter Stegen, with Nélson Semedo coming in at right-back. In central defence, Jean-Clair Todibo and Samuel Umtiti would replace Gerard Piqué and Clément Lenglet.
Jordi Alba is expected to stay in the first-team. Sergi Roberto would move into midfield to replace Sergio Busquets. Ivan Rakitić and Arturo Vidal will both probably drop down to the bench, awarding opportunities to Carles Aleñá and Riqui Puig.

Lionel Messi is also likely to be rested, with Carles Pérez coming in to the lineup. Abel Ruiz will also make his first start in a Barça shirt, with Malcom staying in the starting lineup. Vidal and Rakitić are candidates to come in as substitute, while Messi will certainly make an appearance.
