Subs: Inaki Pena, Junior Firpo, Alex Collado, Sergi Roberto, Arthur, Samuel Umtiti, Ivan Rakitic.
BARCELONA XI (3-4-1-2): Marc-Andre ter Stegen; Nelson Semedo, Gerard Pique, Clement Lenglet; Ansu Fati, Sergio Busquets, Frenkie de Jong, Jordi Alba; Arturo Vidal; Lionel Messi (c), Antoine Griezmann.
Leganes have come through three rounds to make it this far. After seeing off Real Murcia 4-1 last time out, they found life a lot tougher against Ebro as Jonathan Silva’s goal on the brink of half-time proved the difference. Javier Aguirre’s side held Atletico Madrid to a goalless draw in LaLiga at the weekend, but they remain in the relegation zone and are 28 points worse off than today’s opponents.
Antoine Griezmann scored a couple of second-half goals, including one in the 94th minute, as Barcelona survived a major scare by recovering from a goal down to beat minnows Ibiza 2-1 last week. They followed that up with a 2-1 loss to Valencia in LaLiga at the weekend, meaning a first defeat for new boss Quique Setien in his third game in charge.
