How will Barcelona line up against Levante in a crucial La Liga match?

Barcelona look to bounce back from two awful losses in a row when they welcome struggling Levante to Camp Nou in a must-win _La Liga_ match.

Here’s how we think Hansi Flick will line up his troops for Sunday’s battle:

Barça had a full week to rest, recover and prepare for this one and will have another full week off after, so Hansi Flick has the freedom to choose the best available team for a very important game.

The _Blaugrana_ defense has been a mess lately and the coach might turn to a player he seemingly forgot over the last month in **Gerard Martín**, who suddenly fell out of favor after playing several excellent games as a center-back. But we think he’ll return to the lineup for this one alongside **Pau Cubarsí** at center-back, with **Jules Kounde** and **Alejandro Balde** starting in their usual full-back spots.

If Martín does indeed start at the back, Flick will also be able to reunite a double pivot partnership that worked quite well together in January with **Eric Garcia** starting alongside **Frenkie de Jong** in midfield. Pedri will be back in the squad but isn’t ready to start yet, so The Wizard will be on the bench along with Dani Olmo as we expect Flick to start **Fermín López** in the number 10 role for this one.

Marcus Rashford is also coming back from injury and will be available for selection, but we think the Englishman will be on the bench and Flick will start his favorite front three combination of **Lamine Yamal**, **Ferran Torres** and **Raphinha** up front.

**Possible XI**: Joan; Kounde, Cubarsí, Martín, Balde; Eric, De Jong; Yamal, Fermín, Raphinha; Ferran (4-2-3-1)
