Don’t see any good reason not to go with same 11 that started against Inter. Need the balance against a good counter-attacking side, so that means Coutinho plays as a FW. Roberto’s passing was lame against Inter, but made many dangerous runs and adds more experience for this type of match than Semedo. Arthur was really good against Inter’s press, which LPB will likely try in spurts on Sunday, Vidal too risky in this type of game. Rafinha ... no need to elaborate. Nor with the rest.

Good morning! Rainy day in Barcelona and it will most likely continue like this tomorrow for #ElClásico. I’m heading to Girona right now, meeting up with friends, grabbing some beers and watch Girona against Rayo Vallecano.— Jaume Moyano (@JaumeMoyano) October 27, 2018
Squad list is 19 players, perhaps as Arthur not cleared? Ter Stegen, Semedo, Piqué, I. Rakitic, Sergio, Denis Suárez, Coutinho, Arthur, Suárez, O. Dembélé, Rafinha, Cillessen, Malcom, Lenglet, Jordi Alba, Munir, S. Roberto, Vidal and Chumi have been chosen by the coach, with Samper and Aleñáleft out and Messi, Umtiti and Vermaelen missing through injury. I'll guess Inter lineup but with Dembele starting over Rafinha. Yes, it is what I'd like to see maybe more than what I should guess EV will do, but I think EV wants to surprise Real and Dembele's speed could do that.
Confirmed lineup same as Inter so Rafinha gets start for Messi, Lenglet for Umtiti, and Roberto at RB. Denis who made 19 man squad is in stands as Chumi makes squad as 3rd CB since Vermaelen also injured.

Would have played Dembele to take advantage of Marcelo's side. Although not sure they will leave that much space today.
Interesting way to follow the match. (no video of action on the pitch) https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=281524149368764

With Rafinha and Roberto on that right side we have no way to punish Marcelo , they are both slow as ******** and awful going forward now imagine Semedo and Dembele were playing on that right side ... every single attack there would be dangerous
