The el-clasico is here again. FC Barcelona will be the host of Real Madrid at the Camp Nou. This match is coming on the heels of UEFA Champions League defeats for the two remaining Spanish clubs in the competition. Didier Drogba inspired Chelsea to a shocking 1-0 win over the Catalans at the Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, while Mario Gomez endured Real Madrid suffered their first defeat of this year's UEFA Champions League season. The reverse fixture between Barca and Madrid ended in a 3-1 win for Pep Guardiola's men at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Blaugrana also eliminated Real Madrid from the King's Cup with a 2-1 victory. Real are currently four points ahead of their rivals that came from a goal down to beat Levante 2-1 last weekend. A win for Real Madrid will be a huge step for the Merenges to win their first Primera Liga title since 2008.

Alexis Sanchez is a major doubt for the Catalans after suffering a knock in London. Barca are looking forward to winning their 12th consecutive match in the league. Pep's men have scored an average of three goals per match over that period. Real Madrid will intend to protect their 18 match unbeaten run when they visit the Nou Camp on Saturday evening. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi must be at their best in order to inspire their teams to victory.
