    Here's what Ronald Koeman had to say about Barcelona's busy schedule.

    Speaking to Marca: "If we count (the Real Betis) game and Wednesday's game, there are 12 games in a row, of which 11 are away from home.

    Real Betis v Barcelona (20:00 GMT)

    Where's Lionel Messi? He's on the bench with Ronald Koeman having one eye on the Copa del Rey clash with Sevilla in midweek.

    Instead there's a start for Riqui Puig, who scored from off the bench in his last La Liga appearance.

    Good evening!

    Using his squad will certainly be key for Ronald Koeman this month with games pretty much every three days until March.

    Tonight there's a big opportunity for Martin Braithwaite as the striker is named in Barcelona's first XI.

    Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman has bemoaned a busy fixture schedule, and with good reason.

    Tonight they are at Real Betis - the first of seven games in February alone.

    It is undoubtedly a busy month but, with games in La Liga, Copa del Rey and the Champions League, it could be a defining one in how their season pans out.
