One of the world's most famous sporting rivalries takes centre stage once again on Sunday night as Real Madrid and Barcelona lock horns at the Santiago Bernabeu in the latest instalment of the Clasico derby.
This high-profile meeting between fierce rivals carries extra significance given the current state of the LaLiga title race, with Quique Setien's Barca holding a two-point advantage over Los Blancos, who were knocked off top spot last weekend courtesy of a shock defeat at Levante.
Another loss this weekend is likely to prove fatal to Real's hopes of claiming a first domestic title since 2017.
Here’s what you need to know ahead of the match…

Real Madrid (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Mendy; Casemiro, Kroos; Valverde, Modric, Vinicius Jr; Benzema
