Real Madrid
Real Madrid will again definitely be without the services of Dani Ceballos due to a hamstring injury, while Thibaut Courtois has allegedly lost his battle to overcome a back problem in time for El Clasico.
As a result, Andriy Lunin is set to continue between the sticks, while Antonio Rudiger is also expected to be fit despite suffering a nasty head injury when scoring his side's leveller against Shakhtar in the Champions League.
Real Madrid will not be at full strength due to the likely absence of Courtois, but there are not expected to be any surprises in terms of the 10 outfield players, with Federico Valverde set to again feature off the right of a front three.
Eder Militao is set to get the nod over Rudiger to start alongside David Alaba, while Real Madrid's first-choice midfield of Luka Modric, Aurelien Tchouameni and Toni Kroos should take to the field.
Real Madrid possible starting lineup:
Lunin; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Modric, Tchouameni, Kroos; Valverde, Benzema, Vinicius
Barcelona
As for Barcelona, Jules Kounde is expected to make a timely return from injury for the Catalan side, with the Frenchman set to line up in the middle of the defence alongside Eric Garcia, replacing Gerard Pique in the process.
Memphis Depay, Hector Bellerin, Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen remain on the sidelines through injury, but Xavi's side have no fresh fitness concerns for the contest.
Alejandro Balde could come into the side at left-back, while Ansu Fati might get the nod over Raphinha to start alongside Ousmane Dembele and Robert Lewandowski in attack.
Frenkie de Jong is an option for change in the middle of midfield, but it seems likely that Sergio Busquets will again be joined by youngsters Gavi and Pedri in a midfield three.
Barcelona possible starting lineup:
Ter Stegen; Roberto, Kounde, E Garcia, Balde; Gavi, Busquets, Pedri; Dembele, Lewandowski, Fati
Prediction: Real Madrid 1-1 Barcelona
