Valverde gave the Brazilian a game with Messi and Suarez

Barcelona go out on Sunday to extend their lead at the top of La Liga against Real Betis and along with Lionel Messi back after injury, the other piece of interesting news is Malcom starting. The Brazilian scored against Inter Milan in the Champions League and was rewarded with a start here.

Valverde has Philippe Coutinho out of action and opted for Malcom on the left in his place.

Ter Stegen is in goal behind the usual defence of Sergi Roberto, Pique, Lenglet and Jordi Alba. The middle of the pitch sees Rakitic, Busquets and Arthur keep their places.
