Barcelona host Real Madrid at Camp Nou this weekend in the 10th round of LaLiga, with the two sides separated by six points before the 265th Clasico.

The Catalan club go into the fixture as league leaders, while Real Madrid are their closest challengers. As well as offering a significant early meeting in the title race, the game presents Barcelona with the opportunity to claim a historic victory.

Goalkeeper: Joan Garcia

Defenders: Xavi Espart, Pau Cubarsi, Gerard Martin, Joao Cancelo

Midfielders: Pedri, Rodri, Fermin Lopez

Forwards: Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Anthony Gordon

One preview has placed the odds on a Barcelona victory at 1.65 for the LaLiga Clasico.

Real Madrid

Real Madrid will be without Vinicius Junior, who remains suspended after being sent off against Villarreal.

The visitors must also cope without Raul Asencio, Ferland Mendy and Rodrygo, all of whom are unavailable for the trip to Catalonia.

Goalkeeper: Thibaut Courtois

Defenders: Federico Valverde, Ibrahima Konate, Dean Huijsen, Marc Cucurella
