Cornella vs Barcelona: Expected lineup for Copa del Rey clash

Midfield

The midfield position is where Koeman will make most of his changes. Needing to give Sergio Busquets and Frenkie de Jong a rest, expect Miralem Pjanic and Riqui Puig to start. Puig made cameos in the recent matches and performed well under the circumstances.

Should Koeman choose to go with three in midfield, then Barça B player Ilaix Moriba could make his debut for the senior team. Matheus Pereira, the only other senior midfielder, was left out and urged by the manager to go out on loan to get some playing time.
