Real Madrid will look to move 11 points clear of second-placed Barcelona at the top of La Liga table when they host their eternal rivals at the Santiago Bernabeu for the latest edition of El Clasico.
The fierce rivals head into the blockbuster top-of-the-table La Liga showdown off the back of very contrasting results.
League leaders Los Blancos took their revenge on Manchester City in the Champions League earlier this week by advancing into the semi-finals following a dramatic penalty shootout win at the Etihad Stadium.
Barca, meanwhile, blew a lead away to suffer an exit at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain after a disappointing second leg on home soil.
