From facing each other in two UEFA Champions League finals to meeting in the Europa League, Manchester United and Barcelona will rekindle their rivalry at Old Trafford later today.
The two teams play for a place in the last 16 of the competition after playing out a 2-2 draw at Camp Nou last week.
Both United and Barcelona seem to have rediscovered their best forms in their respective domestic leagues with United currently third on the Premier League table while Barcelona are eight points ahead of Real Madrid in La Liga.
Marcus Rashford was the star man a week ago as he scored and forced an own goal from Jules Kounde while Marcos Alonso and Raphinha were also on target for Barcelona.
However, the return fixture will decide who makes it to the next round of the competition and who gets the bragging rights.
The pair met in the 2009 and 2011 Champions League finals with Barcelona claiming victory on both occasions.
United on the other hand beat Barcelona en route to winning their last Champions League title.
At Old Trafford, Xavi will be without the services of Gavi and Pedri with the former serving a suspension while the latter is injured.
United will also have to do without Anthony Martial, who is yet to return to full training but Antony, Marcel Sabitzer and Lisandro Martinez are available for Erik ten Hag.
