According to reports, Barcelona is expected to play several friendlies in England, including a match against Birmingham City at St Andrews. The match is likely to be a sell-out event, as fans from the UK will be eager to see Barcelona play live.

Barcelona may also play a closed-door match against either Watford or Stoke City during their preseason tour. Additionally, the team is expected to play two more friendlies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Morocco after departing England.

However, Barcelona's squad in England may be limited due to the World Cup, as many top players may take a rest after the tournament ends. This could impact the team's performance in the preseason matches.
