Barcelona's first trident of the season... and no Coutinho
The Brazilian will be on the bench and Dembele starts up top
Barcelona start La Liga with a surprise in the line up. Philippe Coutinho is on the bench against Alaves as the coach bidded for a more balanced midfield, with Sergi Roberto starting in his stead.
Meanwhile up front Ousmane Dembele was selected alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in a 4-3-3.
All four new signings begin in the game on the bench - Arturo Vidal, Clement Lenglet, Malcom and Arthur.
BARCELONA: Ter Stegen, Semedo, Pique, Umtiti, Alba, Busquets, Rakitic, Roberto, Messi, Suarez, Dembele
