Barcelona manager Xavi will answer questions from journalists at Old Trafford on Wednesday night. The Spaniard will speak at his pre-Manchester United press conference at 6.15pm and he's set to be joined by defender Jules Kounde, who appeared to bring down Marcus Rashford in a controversial incident that was deemed not to be a foul last week.

The first leg at Camp Nou finished in a 2-2 draw and Thursday's second leg game at Old Trafford will decide who progresses. Xavi will give team news for the game but he's set to be without Pedri and Gavi at Old Trafford as the former is injured and the latter suspended.

Sergio Busquets could return, although he's not played since February 5 due to an ankle injury. After the press conference, Barcelona are set to train on Old Trafford's pitch.
