El Clásico: Real Madrid vs Barcelona - Team News and Lineups

The big one! The biggest game in club football, the one that sends chills down your spine, the El Clásico, is upon us. Real Madrid and Barcelona are set to clash, and this time, it's not just bragging rights on the line. Points are crucial in the La Liga title race.

Real Madrid will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing draw against Girona last week. Injuries are a concern, but they're still loaded with talent. Carlo Ancelotti is likely to stick with his preferred 4-3-3 formation, but with some key players potentially missing. Can Karim Benzema overcome his struggles and lead the charge?

Barcelona, on the other hand, are flying high after their impressive victory over Valencia. Their attacking trio is firing on all cylinders, with Robert Lewandowski leading the way. However, they've been a bit shaky defensively at times. Xavi will be looking to tighten things up at the back, but can they contain the attacking threat of Vinicius Jr.?

Here's what we know about the lineups so far:
