Lucas Digne and Andres Iniesta come into the starting lineup as Barcelona host Villarreal.

Lucas Digne and Andres Iniesta have come into the starting lineup as Barcelona host Villarreal at Camp Nou this evening.

Iniesta returns to the fold after missing the last two games with a groin injury, replacing Andre Gomes alongside Ivan Rakitic and Sergio Busquets.

Digne, meanwhile, is preferred to Jordi Alba at left-back, joining Sergi Roberto, Gerard Pique and Samuel Umtiti in the back four ahead of Marc-Andre ter Stegen in goal.

Attacking trio Luis Suarez, Neymar and Lionel Messi continue up front as Luis Enrique's side look to go three points clear at the top.

Villarreal boss Fran Escriba, meanwhile, makes three changes to the side that defeated Sporting Gijon 3-1 last time out.

Bruno misses out with a knee injury and is replaced in the middle of the park by Manu Trigueros alongside Rodrigo Hernandez, Jonathan dos Santos and Roberto Soriano.

The other two changes come in defence, with Mateo Musacchio and Jaume Costa coming in for Daniele Bonera and Jose Angel.

Roberto Soldado and Cedric Bakambu continue up front.

Barcelona: Ter Stegen; S.Roberto, Pique, Umtiti, Digne; Rakitic, Busqets, Iniesta; Suarez, Messi, Neymar
Subs: D Suarez, Turan, Cillessen, Mascherano, Alcacer, Alba, Gomes

Villarreal: Fernandez; Gaspar, Musacchio, Gonzalez, Costa; Dos Santos, Hernandez, Trigueros, Soriano; Bakambu, Soldado
Subs: Adrian, Sansone, Castillejo, Rukavina, Bonera, Borre, Barbosa
