Barcelona can get a step closer to winning the La Liga title with a win tonight when they take on Real Valladolid away at Estadi Jose Zorrilla.
The Blaugrana, one of the best teams in Europe this season, are going up against a side that has already been relegated from La Liga and are the overwhelming favourites.
However, with an eye on the UCL semi-final second leg vs Inter Milan, manager Hansi Flick has rung in the changes in the starting XI tonight.
The big news is that 19-year-old La Masia gem Dani Rodriguez makes his first-team debut for Barça. Alongside Dani Rodriguez in attack are Ansu Fati and Pau Victor.
Meanwhile, Marc-Andre ter Stegen makes his first appearance after over seven months having recently come back from his knee injury.
In defence, there is a start for Hector Fort at right-back while Gerard Martin slots in on the left side. They flank the centre-back pair of Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen, who is starting his first game of the season.
Despite the rotations, Pedri starts again in midfield but has a new partner in Gavi while Fermin Lopez replaces Dani Olmo as the No. 10.
