Manchester United and Barcelona face a straight shootout for a place in the Europa League Round of 16, as Xavi's La Liga leaders head to Old Trafford.

The two sides battled out a superb 2-2 draw in the Camp Nou first leg last week, but with the tie evenly poised, one of the favourites to win the competition will now drop out.

United will be hoping home advantage can prove crucial but Barcelona are unbeaten across all competitions in over four months.

Here's all the key information on the match including kickoff time, live streaming and TV channels, lineups and betting odds.

Man United vs Barcelona lineups

Ten Hag's injury list is likely to remain unchanged for this game with Antony and Harry Maguire likely to sit out the game and work on their fitness ahead of the Carabao Cup final this weekend.

Lisandro Martinez missed the first leg through suspension and should start at centre-back, while Raphael Varane will likely be restored after being rested for the win over Leicester City. Casemiro is also in contention, the midfielder having also missed last Sunday's game through suspension.

Ten Hag could choose to deploy Wout Weghorst in a deeper role as he did to some success at Camp Nou, while Jadon Sancho could push for a start following his goalscoring cameo off the bench against Leicester.

Man United starting XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea (GK) — Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw — Casemiro, Sabitzer — Sancho, Fernandes, Rashford  — Weghorst

Man United subs: Heaton (GK), Dalot, Lindelof, Malacia, Fred, Pellistri, Mainoo, Garnacho, Elanga

Xavi has issues in midfield ahead of this game with key pair Pedri and Gavi absent due to injury and suspension respectively, and Ousmane Dembele still sidelined.

Captain Sergio Busquets is back in the squad and will lead the team in Manchester, with Franck Kessie and Jordi Alba also expected to start at Old Trafford.

Barcelona starting XI (4-3-3): Ter Stegen (GK) — Kounde, Araujo, Christensen, Alba — Kessie, Busquets, De Jong — Raphinha, Lewandowski, Fati

Barcelona subs: Tenas (GK), Roberto, Garcia, Balde, Casado, Alonso, Raphinha, Torre, Torres

Man United vs Barcelona prediction, odds

With no away goals in the Europa League this season, this contest is wide open ahead of the second leg, with United aiming to utilise the power of Old Trafford to full effect.

The Red Devils are unbeaten at home under Ten Hag since a 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad in the group stage on September 8 last year, and they will fancy their chances of having enough to end Barcelona's European challenge on home soil.

Prediction: Man United to win 2-1
