What is the team news?
Barcelona remain without star forward Lamine Yamal, but Jules Kounde is able to return from suspension after missing the win at Osasuna. Gavi and Pedri are keeping Frenkie de Jong out of the side, while Ferran Torres and Marcus Rashford could return to the wings, with Dani Olmo behind Robert Lewandowski in attack.
Kylian Mbappe has reportedly returned to training but remains a doubt after missing the 2-0 win at Espanyol due to a hamstring injury. Federico Valverde is missing due to a head cut sustained in his training ground clash with Aurelien Tchouameni, who may also be unavailable after the club opened disciplinary proceedings against the pair. The injury list is long, with Rodrygo, Eder Militao, Ferland Mendy, Dani Carvajal, and Arda Guler out. Thibaut Courtois has also missed several weeks with a thigh injury.
Possible line-ups
Barcelona XI: Garcia; Kounde, Cubarsi, Araujo, Cancelo; Gavi, Pedri; Torres, Olmo, Rashford; Lewandowski
Real Madrid XI: Lunin; Alexander-Arnold, Rudiger, Huijsen, Garcia; Camavinga, Pitarch Pinar, Diaz, Bellingham, Mastantuono; Vinicius Jr
Barcelona are 11 points clear of Madrid in LaLiga and would win the title if they avoid defeat at Camp Nou. In the 97 years of LaLiga, the title has never been won in this fixture. Real Madrid are in crisis, with the club confirming that disciplinary proceedings had been opened against teammates Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde following reports of a training ground bust-up that left Valverde in hospital. Real Madrid won the first Clasico of the league season 2-1 at the Bernabeu, a result that sent them top at the time. But Barcelona have been top since late November, have won 10 league games in a row, and are four more wins from a 100-point season.
