Barcelona are set to take the field at the RCDE Stadium in a little over an hour as they hope to secure the La Liga title by defeating their local rivals Espanyol.

With a four-point lead over second-placed Real Madrid, a victory tonight would confirm Barcelona as the La Liga champions with two games still left to be played.

Ahead of the big Catalan derby, Barça boss Hansi Flick has announced the starting lineup with a few notable changes.

For starters, Robert Lewandowski makes his first start after returning from injury, coming into the team at the expense of Ferran Torres, who had to undergo an appendectomy last night.

Raphinha and Lamine Yamal continue on the flanks.

Meanwhile, Andreas Christensen starts at centre-back, replacing Inigo Martinez who is suspended for the match. He partners Ronald Araujo, who comes in for Pau Cubarsi.

Eric Garcia and Gerard Martin continue as the two full-backs while Wojciech Szczesny keeps his place in goal ahead of captain Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

Pedri and Frenkie de Jong line up as the double pivot with Dani Olmo starting as the No. 10.
