El Clasico: Predicted line-ups, kick-off time, how and where to watch on TV and online

Carlo Ancelotti has Real Madrid well placed to battle for success in both the Champions League and LaLiga Santander this season, but the next match is one of particular importance to fans, with Barcelona set to visit the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

Karim Benzema is facing a race against time to be fit for the second Clasico of the LaLiga Santander season, whilst Ferland Mendy has been officially ruled out due to a foot injury. Rodrygo Goes also suffered a nasty ankle injury against Real Mallorca, but he is already back in training.

Sergi Roberto is out injured, whilst Samuel Umtiti and Ansu Fati are both unavailable for selection for the trip to the Spanish capital. Gerard Pique has been carrying a knock, but he is expected to play.
