How can I watch Real Madrid and Barcelona in the El Clasico on Sunday?
Real Madrid will host rivals Barcelona for the first El Clasico derby of the season at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Sunday in a top of the table clash.
The two sides will go into the fixture with confidence following positive results in their respective Champions League midweek victories against Juventus and Olympiacos.
Los Blancos will be under pressure to end a four-match losing streak against Barca in all competitions, three of which were La Liga encounters.
A debut derby win for new Madrid manager Xabi Alonso will extend his teams' lead on top of the table to five points but a win for Hansi Flick's side will see the host drop into second spot behind Barcelona by a point.
