Squad Updates:

This will be the seventh game of the season and Real have been two poor performances just before this match. Forwards are mis-firing, defence is in disarray, and mid field is missing. This game is very important and would decide who would remain on the top of the table. Madrid needs to win this at any cost.

Barcelona has a good attack and their counters are great on the left. So, Real will have to be very careful.

In the goal Courtois will start, he has been leaking goals in the last few games even though his form has been good.

Marcelo has to start on the left as Mendy will start on the right due to lack of any regular right backs. Ramos and Varane will start as the center backs, there is no doubt in it. Carvajal and Odriozola both suffered injuries and now Mendy should be the favorite to start on the right. So Marcelo, Varane, Ramos and Mendy should start. Defence has been in shambles after the international break.

Modric has been good but is unable to find the link up play with other mid fielders. The last two games have been disastrous for the mid field with complete chaos and lack of coordination. Real needs to get the control back. It will be the old guards again. Kroos, Casemiro and Modric will start. And Valverde and Isco might start from the bench.

The forwards have been mis-firing for the second season now. Benzema has been poor, Jovic has shown some sparks but is generally lost. Vinicius is the only one who shows some promise. With the lack of options it seems Valverde will start on the right, Vinicius on the left and Benzema upfront.

As there are 5 substitutions available, ZZ should think for more rotations in the second half.

The probable substitutions will be:

Vinicius > Rodrygo

Valverde > Asensio

Kroos/Modric > Isco

Benzema > Jovic, seems very unlikely though

So the formation would be 4 3 3.

The most probable kit to be used for the El Clasico game will be the home kit !!!

So the final starting 11 will be:
