Team News: Full-strength sides for El Clasico

Barcelona and Real Madrid are both able to name strong sides for El Clasico at Camp Nou.

Barcelona and Real Madrid have both been able to name strong sides for El Clasico at Camp Nou tonight.

Both sides make minimal alterations to their starting XIs for the showpiece encounter as Barca look to go nine points clear at the top of the table and Madrid seek to avenge their 4-0 defeat in the reverse last November.

The home side have Neymar, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi up front, supported by Ivan Rakitic, Sergio Busquets and Andres Iniesta, who is in for Arda Turan.

The other change sees Dani Alves displace Sergi Roberto in the back four.

For visiting Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema provide the attacking threat, with Toni Kroos, Casemiro and Luka Modric holding fort in the centre of the park.

Zinedine Zidane's three changes from the side that defeated Sevilla last time out all come in defence, with Sergio Ramos and Pepe partnering in the centre and Dani Carvajal replacing Danilo at right-back.

James Rodriguez and Isco start the game among the substitutes.

Barcelona: Bravo; Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Alba; Busquets, Rakitic, Iniesta; Neymar, Suarez, Messi
Subs: Ter Stegen, Arda, Rafinha, Bartra, Munir, Sergi Roberto, Vermaelen

Real Madrid: Navas; Pepe, Ramos, Carvajal, Marcelo; Kroos, Casemiro, Modric; Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale
Subs: Casillo, Nacho, James Rodriguez, Lucas Vazquez, Jese, Isco, Danilo
