Team News: Adriano, Sergio Busquets, Rafinha come in for Barcelona

Adriano, Rafinha and Sergio Busquets come into the fold as Barcelona look to beat Celta Vigo and restore their four-point lead over Real Madrid.

Barcelona coach Luis Enrique has made three changes to his side for tonight's visit to Celta Vigo.

Left-back Jordi Alba drops out of defence with a hamstring injury, allowing Adriano the chance to earn his fifth La Liga start of the season.

Elsewhere, Sergio Busquets replaces the suspended Javier Mascherano, while Ivan Rakitic drops to the bench for Rafinha in Enrique's final change from the 2-1 El Clasico win over Real Madrid last time out.

The Catalans continue with the star-studded attacking trident of Luis Suarez, Neymar and Lionel Messi up front.

Barcelona XI: Bravo; Alves, Pique, Mathieu, Adriano; Busquets, Iniesta, Rafinha; Suarez, Neymar Messi

Celta XI: Sergio; Hugo Mallo, Cabral, Fontàs, Jonny; Augusto, Krohn-Dehli, Pablo Hernández, Orellana; Nolito, Larrivey
