Real Madrid transfer news
GK: Iker Casillas
No longer at his best, but still Real Madrid’s number one goalkeeper and a player with great El Clasico experience.
DR: Daniel Carvajal
First choice right-back for Real, Daniel Carvajal will be given the job of dealing with Neymar this weekend.
DL: Marcelo
On the left, Marcelo should continue ahead of Fabio Coentrao and will likely be dealing with Lionel Messi on that part of the pitch.
DC: Pepe
A tough tackler who will be crucial for this fixture, Pepe should continue as one of the first choice centre-backs for Real Madrid.
DC: Sergio Ramos
Back to full fitness after a spell out, Sergio Ramos is another vital player in keeping Luis Suarez and co. quiet this weekend.
MC: Toni Kroos
Not the most defensive-minded midfield player, but Toni Kroos could play a pivotal role in dictating the play for Real Madrid in midfield this weekend.
MC: Luka Modric
Another more attack-minded midfielder, Luka Modric will surely partner Kroos at the Nou Camp in what could be an intriguing tactical move by Carlo Ancelotti.
AMR: Gareth Bale
Despite some recent criticism, Gareth Bale will surely not be sacrificed in such a big game, and has the quality to be a match-winner if given the chance.
AML: Cristiano Ronaldo
Starting on the left but surely swapping sides with Bale throughout, Cristiano Ronaldo will be hoping to keep up his great scoring record in El Clasico.
AMC: Isco
An important player for Real this season, Isco should be given an advanced midfield role just behind the main attackers, with freedom to get into the box.
FC: Karim Benzema
Real’s main striker, Karim Benzema will have an important role to play in this weekend’s big game.
