Team news
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is set to be boosted by the return of Lisandro Martinez and Marcel Sabitzer from suspension after they missed the first leg. Harry Maguire and Antony are also fit again after missing the win over Leicester, but Antony Martial has been ruled out.
Barca chief Xavi is also facing a selection headache, with wonderkids Pedri and Gavi both ruled out. The former picked up a hamstring injury in the first leg, while the latter is suspended after being booked last week.
Veteran club captain Sergio Busquets has been included in the squad though, despite sitting out Sunday's win over Cadiz. The only other change to Barca's squad from the one which was faced United last week is the absence of youngster Angel Alcarcon.
