Real Madrid will be bidding to return to winning ways in La Liga when they travel to Barcelona on Saturday afternoon for the latest instalment of El Clasico.

Carlo Ancelotti's side were held to a 1-1 draw by Sevilla in the league last weekend, but they are top of the table, one point clear of third-placed Barcelona on the same number of games (10).

Los Blancos will enter this match off the back of a victory, having beaten Braga 2-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday to continue their 100% record in this season's competition.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Real Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Barcelona, who have won seven and drawn three of their 10 league games this term.
