Barcelona probable Lineup vs Real Madrid for El Clasico

Barcelona invite Real Madrid to play each other in a La Liga fixture.

Luis Suarez

Barcelona are leading Real Madrid by a point in the league table. A win here will mean Barca will be at the top with 4 points advantage. Barcelona have managed 65 points from 27 games with 78 goals scored and just 16 conceded. Real Madrid have scored 77 goals and have goal difference of 53 with 64 points to their name.

Thomas Vermaelen is yet to make a debut for FC Barcelona despite signing from Arsenal in the summer. Sergio Busquets is also out injured and will not be included in the matchday squad. Jordi Alba and Dani Alves both missed previous league encounter due to suspension but started in the win against Manchester City, so Luis Enrique will continue with the experienced pair in the wing back. Jeremy Mathieu will start as a center half with Javier Mascherano replacing injured Busquets in the defensive midfield.

Probable Starting Lineup:

Formation: 4-3-3

Bravo

Alves – Pique – Mathieu – Alba

Iniesta – Mascherano – Rakitic

Messi – Suarez – Neymar
