"The biggest club game in world football takes centre stage this afternoon as Real Madrid host Barcelona in El Clasico. Madrid head into the clash on top of La Liga, two points ahead of their arch-rivals from Catalonia. Both sides enjoyed wins in the Champions League in midweek: Madrid edging out Juventus 1-0 and Barca hammering 10-man Olympiacos 6-1. Barca won all four meetings between the teams last season and Madrid, now under Xabi Alonso, will be itching for revenge."
"Alonso makes two changes to the team that beat Juve. Dean Huijsen returns from injury and replaces Raul Asencio at the heart of the hosts' defence while Eduardo Camavinga is preferred to Brahim Diaz in midfield. Dani Carvajal and Trent Alexander-Arnold are both named on the bench. Real Madrid: Courtois; Valverde, Huijsen, Militao, Carreras; Tchouameni, Guler, Camavinga; Bellingham, Vinicius Jr, Mbappe"
