The duo did not play from the get-go in the Clasico last weekend but are back

Barcelona will look to lift their first trophy of the season against Athletic Bilbao. SPORT have learned that they will lean on veteran centre back Gerard Pique to do it, and he is now expected to start at La Cartuja on Saturday night. Barcelona will use the 3-5-2 system they have opted for, for much of this year, despite working on 4-3-3 in the week.

Pique will be joined in the starting line up by French striker Antoine Griezmann, who started on the bench against Real Madrid. Griezmann will play ahead of Ousmane Dembele, who will go back to the bench, with the former Atletico man to partner Lionel Messi.
