Turkish international star Arda Turan will start against his former side, replacing Neymar who is out suspended.
The attacking midfielder has been most effective this season when playing out wide ahead of Neymar. Turan will join Messi and Luis Suarez in a three man attack.
Turan has been in great form this season scoring 13 times and providing seven assists in all competitions.
The 30-year-old has already lifted the Copa del Rey title at Barcelona and Atleti.
Turan spent four seasons at the Madrid based side where he won the La Liga title, Europa League, Copa del Rey and Super Cup.
Barca will face either Celta Vigo or Deportivo Alaves in the Copa del Rey final if they progress past Atleti.

fker had to replace vidal with that shet of roberto again. why does he want us to lose so badly. i hate enrique and he really needs to resign or get sacked. the guy really has no clue whats he doing and whats managing a team like barca. and why not letting alcacer play?
vidal for your sake i just hope sergio embarres himself again not knowing how to defend.
