Luis Enrique keeps Gerard Pique and Samuel Umtiti together against Atheltic Bilbao

After thumping Real Betis 6-2 in the first gameweek of La Liga, Barcelona face Atheltic Bilbao with Marc-Andre ter Stegen's inclusion the only change for the Blaugrana.

Claudio Bravo started against Betis but since his transfer to Manchester City, Ter Stegen has assumed added responsibility in the league.

In defence, Luis Enrique has stuck with Gerard Pique and Samuel Umtiti despite Javier Mascherano's recovery from injury. Sergi Roberto keeps his place at right-back while Jordi Alba lines up on the left.

Everything is in order in midfield. Andre Gomes will start on the bench while Denis Suarez continues to play in place of the absent Andres Iniesta.

Arda Turan keeps the vacant coveted spot in the attacking trio with Neymar unavailable until September, with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez providing the final two pieces of the jigsaw.

BARCELONA STARTING XI: Ter Stegen; Roberto, Pique, Umtiti, Alba; Busquets, D Suarez, Rakitic, Messi, L Suarez, Arda

ATHLETIC BILBAO STARTING XI: Iraizoz; De Marcos, Boveda, Laporte, Balenziaga; Iturraspe, Benat, Susaeta; Eraso, Aduriz, Williams
