How will Barcelona line up against Napoli in Europa League debut?

Barcelona begin their Europa League campaign this Thursday as they welcome Napoli for the first leg of their Playoff matchup at Camp Nou.

The winner of the Playoff tie will advance to the Round of 16, and the away goals rule no longer exists in European competition so it will not be a huge disaster to concede against a very good Napoli side, which could mean a very open, exciting game between two Champions League quality teams.

Xavi Hernández has a couple of issues when it comes to team selection, and there is some speculation of a possible rotation in this one.
