Luis Enrique has made two changes to his Barcelona starting XI for tonight's La Liga match at Deportivo La Coruna.

One has been forced upon the Barca boss, with Gerard Pique suspended and replaced at centre-back by Marc Bartra.

The other change is on the right of defence as Dani Alves is preferred to Sergi Roberto.

Deportivo boss Victor Sanchez, meanwhile, has made four changes to the team that drew 1-1 with Sevilla at the weekend.

Cani, Oriol Riera, Alex Bergantinos and Laure come into the XI, with Faycal Fajr and Luis Alberto among those to drop out.

Barca have lost their last three La Liga matches to throw the title race wide open, and failure to win again tonight opens the door for both Atletico and Real Madrid to go above the Catalans.

Deportivo La Coruna: Manu; Laure, Sidnei, Navarro, Juanfran; Mosquera, Alex, Borges, Cani; Lucas, Riera
Subs: Pletikosa, Pablo, Luisnho, Cartabia, Faycal Fajr, Jona, Jonas

Barcelona: Bravo; Alves, Mascherano, Bartra, Alba; Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta; Messi, Suarez, Neymar
Subs: Ter Stegen, Douglas, Turan, Rafinha, Munir, Roberto, Adrian
