Real Madrid welcome Barcelona to the capital of Spain for the first El Clasico of the 2017-18 Liga season. The match is always important, but especially so this time given the lead Barca have amassed in the title race. If Real are to have any chance, they must win.

Barcelona currently sit first in La Liga on 42 points, 11 ahead of their opponents. They have yet to lose a game and have scored 12 more goals than Real, despite being without Ousmane Dembélé for the majority of the season. While there’s a slim hope that Dembélé will return for the game, it would be in a small role. It will be fascinating to see how Barcelona defend Real Madrid. They’ve been great defensively this season and have only allowed seven goals in this year’s La Liga campaign.

Real Madrid sit fourth in La Liga, 11 points behind Barcelona with a game in hand as a result of their recent trip to the UAE to play in the Club World Cup. They also have a tough Champions League round of 16 tie against PSG to look forward to and a win against Barcelona near the end of the year would be a massive boost for the club as they try to put a disappointing start to the season behind them.
