Ronald Koeman's Barcelona and Marcelino's Athletic Bilbao face each other in the Spanish Super Cup final at the La Cartuja stadium. The game on Sunday 17th January kicks off at 21:00 CET.
The Catalans come into the game in very good form after recent league victories and a penalty shootout win over Real Sociedad in the semi-finals. It was 1-1 after 120 minutes.
Ronald Koeman will not make experiments and he is expected to field his best XI. There is only one doubt, but it is that of Leo Messi. The Argentine will make a last minute call on whether he plays or not. If he feels capable, he will play. Otherwise, Braithwaite will come in and join Dembele and Griezmann up top.
With regards to Athletic Bilbao, Marcelino will also put out his best players after the brilliant victory over Real Madrid in the semi-finals. Raul Garcia, the hero of that match, will be the main man up front. Inaki Williams will also be looking to put the ball in the Barca goal.
Possible line-ups for Barcelona v Athletic Bilbao
Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Dest, Araujo, Lenglet, Jordi Alba; Busquets, De Jong, Pedri; Dembélé, Griezmann and Messi.
Athletic Bilbao: Unai Simón; Capa, Núñez, Íñigo Martínez, Balenziaga; De Marcos, Vencedor, Dani García, Muniain; Raúl García and Williams.
