Sports Mole looks at how Barcelona could line up in Sunday's La Liga contest with Real Madrid.

Barcelona will be boosted by the returns of Sergi Roberto and Andreas Christensen for Sunday night's La Liga contest against Real Madrid at Bernabeu.

Roberto and Christensen were both suspended for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday, which Xavi's side lost 4-1 to exit the competition.

The duo will return to the squad for El Clasico, although Barcelona will again be missing two key players in the shape of Gavi and Alejandro Balde due to long-term knee and hamstring issues respectively.

Ronald Araujo, who was sent off in the first half against PSG last time out, will be aiming to put a difficult few days behind him when he takes to the field in the Spanish capital.

There might be just the one change from the side that started against the French champions, with Christensen potentially returning to a midfield spot, which could see Lamine Yamal drop to the bench.

Such a move would see Pedri pushed into the front three alongside Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski, with Christensen featuring alongside Frenkie de Jong and Ilkay Gundogan in the middle.

Inigo Martinez and Joao Felix are among those pushing to be introduced into the XI for this match, but it is likely that the pair will be among the subsitutes for the first whistle once again.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsi, Cancelo; Gundogan, Christensen, F de Jong; Pedri, Lewandowski, Raphinha
