The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away.
Following their 3-0 win at Balaidos in October, Barcelona can complete a league double over Celta for the first time since 2013-14 under Gerardo Martino.
Just the one change by Eduardo Coudet as well from the win over Getafe last time out. Nestor Araujo comes in for Dominguez, who is on a depleted bench of only six substitutes for the visitors.
Ronald Koeman makes just one change to the side that drew with Levante on Tuesday as he brings Moriba in for Frenkie de Jong, who isn’t in the squad. Messi leads the line in what could be his final game at Camp Nou, amid rumours he could be leaving after not yet signing a new deal.
CELTA VIGO SUBS: Miguel Baeza, Hugo Sotelo, David Junca, Carlos Dominguez, Augusto Solari, Patrick Sequeira.
CELTA VIGO STARTING XI (4-1-3-2): Ivan Villar; Kevin Vazquez, Joseph Aidoo, Nestor Araujo, Aaron Martin; Fran Beltran; Brais Mendez, Denis Suarez, Nolito; Iago Aspas, Santi Mina.
BARCELONA SUBS: Martin Braithwaite, Arnau Tenas, Miralem Pjanic, Riqui Puig, Samuel Umtiti, Sergino Dest, Neto, Trincao, Matheus Fernandes, Junior Firpo.
BARCELONA STARTING XI (3-1-4-2): Marc-Andre ter Stegen; Ronald Araujo, Gerard Pique, Clement Lenglet; Sergio Busquets; Ousmane Dembele, Ilaix Moriba, Pedri, Jordi Alba; Antoine Griezmann, Lionel Messi.
Barcelona’s title hopes took a huge knock after drawing 3-3 with Levante last time out and they have to win this game to give themselves a chance. That still would not be enough though if Atletico Madrid fail to drop points today. Barca have lost just one of their last seven in all competitions (W4 D2), but have drawn their last two. As for Celta, they’ve lost just one of their last six outings and come into this match on a four-game winning streak in the league.
