Barca emerged victorious last year thanks to a 3-1 win and Xavi would arguably want a similar result tonight as his team trails Madrid and Girona in the race for the La Liga title.
Raphinha is injured after being withdrawn from the first half of the semi-final of Thursday’s 2-0 win over Osasuna, although Pedri is in the starting line-up after being brought off to the bench.
Meanwhile, Madrid has Federico Valverde despite the Uruguayan midfielder being sent off in their thrilling 5-3 win over bitter rivals Atletico on Wednesday.
Dani Carvajal is also compatible despite lacking training due to muscle fatigue ahead of the Spanish Super Cup.
