I think we might see Kessie - De Jong duo like we did in Villareal match, thus leaving Pedri higher up the pitch to link up with Lewy, which he has amazing understanding with. Kessie had a decent game, being quite reliable as one of pivots, especially while having such amazing ballcarier Frenkie next to him. I think that's how Barca will play, because that brings more attacking output to Barcelona without Dembele, while still maintaining balance in defence. Also my bet would be Araujo starting perhaps as right back to keep Marcus in check, similar to marking Vini in El Classicos. that would leave Kounde and Christensen, both being good at reading the play to intercept and deal with Manchester attack

I believe it was something around 12 straight wins across all competitions before the last minute loss to Arsenal, Rashford has been the top scorer in Europe since the World Cup ended and scored like on 9 straight games before the streak was cut short, right now he's on 4 straight games scoring, this could very well be this Europa League's final

We should to take into account that LaLiga is the most defensive league in the world (and this is proved). When Lewy doesn't score, he usually assists or reads the game to assume a different role. Sometimes he's even the playmaker, or moving around to create spaces for the midfield. Different game for him, and not reallistic by us to expect him to have the same numbers that he's been having. Still half a year to go, so he could go crazy anytime, but this is how I see it.

One of the thing barca improved this szn is their intensity to recover the ball in the opposition half after losing it.

Xavi’s already surprised us by putting Kessie in the back left against Villarreal. Perhaps as practice since he expects turnovers on that side and wants a physical presence there. Having Pedri as right interior will help our attack immensely (I am willing to bet he gets robbed of at least 1 assist, as is par for the course). Araujo at RB seems better too, with Kounde moving up to support the midfield against the compact block. Villarreal definitely holds possession better than Man U, I think, so there’ll likely be more control on our end. Bless Setien for giving us a tough game so this setup gets good practice for Thursday!

United main source of threat will be through counters and if they can exploit Barca’s high line using Rashfords pace then that definitely will be a problem. Barca’s main source of threat mainly comes through their positional play in the final third, you just hesitate to know which player to mark and this will open up gaps in the defence where they will have shots on goal. Barca will probably control the midfield but I think based on the adjustments Tenhag makes and the experience the team has he'll overcome Xavi for sure.

Varane makes the run into midfield because if the striker follows him it give a easier pass to the gk/lcb but if the striker does not follow him it gives space for him to receive between the striker/the person pressing the right back and progress up the pitch. It basically causes uncertainty to the striker.

time for raphinha to show his worth in big games, this is gonna be a huge test for him. I feel like the coach's decision and tactic will be the key in this match. Ten hag is clearly a better coach due to his experience at ajax but our midfielder is better than them for sure, our striker is better but Lewy is not in good form while rashford is in the form of his life, and the defense i think we are at level. This not gonna be easy match at all even if we draw im not surprise cus so far i see we are not clinical enough we wasting too much chances at final third

I think xavi won't risk playing pedri in the deep ya we would have more fluidity in the midfield but he's not up for a transition fdj and kessie will be pivot as we have seen against villarreal...why use your best attacking outlet but let's see xavi ball

Versus Villarreal, Xavi deployed Kessie in a double pivot formation together with De Jong. Pedri was more of a floater. I'm not saying the same will happen vs United, but definitely it is possible that for some spells, you might see Pedri occupying the number 10 slot in the pitch. This gives Barcelona less control over the ball, but more dange as they will be attacking with more "touch and move" players, something United doesn't see every week in the EPL.

I don’t think it’ll be Pedri next to Frenkie, but Kessie, like in the last match vs Villareal. Much better alternative to have Pedri closer to the front and Kessie did well enough in the double pivot.

Both teams are champions league teams. One team that was unlucky with Araujo and Kounde injured and some bad calls against inter with a lot of new players were getting to know each other. And United a team that last year weren’t even Europa league worthy and then comes Ten Hag that he comes in and makes a complete 360 to the team and is in 3rd play but actually looks like a team that has progressed and has future to fight for premier next year if this are done right next year. But I think right now the difference is going to be the coaches. I think United wins because they have Ten hag and is a lot more experienced while Xavi is still learning as the game go by and still makes mistakes.

I dunno if i would put the fate of the game in the hands of the managers and their tactile performances. Ultimately there are 11 players on each side that are playing the sport. The quality in Barcelona's side exceeds that of man united. Also like the video mentions, once one side scores a goal the entire game changes. ITs like when Tyson said everyone has a plan until you get punched in the mouth.

We need to treat this game like the city game. Fred needs to man-mark Pedri the way did De bruyne. The one-two goal he scored at the weekend with Lewa scares me. We also need to stop Lewa shooting outside the box as he's just as deadly from that range. I'd probably go with Wan bissaka to nullify Gavi completely but Dalot should be fine against him. The most interesting battle imo is going to be Rashford vs Araujo.

I think it's very dangerous for people to underestimate United. No one picked them against City, who I find to be better than Barca & they beat them. Even without the VAR decision, United looked very dangerous. I also think that United being underdogs plays into their hands. People are sleeping on Ten Hag more than they realize & he doesn't lose to the same team twice in a season (at least this year).
