Real Madrid v Barcelona: Confirmed line-ups and team news for El Clasico
EXPRESS SPORT brings you the team news from tonight's crucial El Clasico in the fight for the La Liga title.
Real Madrid will be looking to build on their lead at the top of the La Liga
The big news for Real Madrid is that Gareth Bale has been deemed fit enough to start for Zinedine Zidane's side.
Barcelona gave up in their bid to overturn Neymar's ban after the forward sarcastically applauded the fourth official after being sent off against Malaga.
Tonight's El Clasico could prove decisive in who lifts the La Liga trophy at the end of the season.
Madrid have a game in hand on Barcelona and are currently three points ahead of their arch-rivals, meaning a win for Luis Enrique's side would blow the title race wide open again.
