La Liga: Barcelona vs Real Madrid: Team news, injuries, suspensions and line-ups

Zinedine Zidane’s Real Madrid go into Saturday’s El Clasico six 
points clear at the top of La Liga and on an unbeaten run of 31 games. 
Madrid also warmed up for the trip to Barcelona with a 6-1 drubbing of 
Cultural Leonesa in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday night.<br />

There were a lot of doubts on Zidane’s coaching when he took over 
Madrid, but it’s hard to criticise him because no manager in Real Madrid
 history has as good a record after their first 33 games in charge as 
him (27 wins, five draws and one defeat). They have not lost a game 
since their 2-0 defeat away to Wolfsburg in the Champions League last 
April.<br />

Barcelona, on the other hand, have endured a rocky period lately. 
They will be eager to put aside the 1-1 draw at Hercules in the Copa del
 Rey and shift their focus to the highly-anticipated La Liga this 
weekend.<br />

Luis Enrique’s men will eye to close the gap on the top, and hence 
this fixture comes as a crucial one for him, whose side have drawn their
 last two league matches against Malaga and Real Sociedad, before tying 
1-1 with Hercules on Wednesday.<br />

With form often proving to be very little in Clasico, let us take a 
look at how both the teams are shaping up for the high-voltage clash.<br />

<span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Real Madrid</strong></span><br />

Starting with the visitors, Real Madrid will be without their 
talismanic winger Gareth Bale, who picked up an ankle-injury in the 2-1 
win away to Sporting CP in the Champions League last week and underwent 
an operation in London on Tuesday.<br />

<br />
Right-back Danilo is doubtful for the game, while midfielder Toni Kroos and left-back Fabio Coentrao have been ruled out. <br />

But the return of Casemiro from a long spell at sidelines comes as 
big boost for Zidane. The Brazilian started in the 6-1 win over Cultural
 Leonesa on Wednesday and now looks set to feature against Barcelona.<br />

In terms of suspension, Madrid have no players suspended for the 
Clasico at Camp Nou this weekend. Captain Sergio Ramos is just one 
booking away from a ban, and played with caution in the 2-1 win over 
Sporting Gijon in La Liga last Saturday.<br />

As Zidane prefers to go with the 4-3-3 formation, he is likely to 
call upon Isco to replace the injured Bale at the right side of the 
attack. The attacking-midfielder oozed class in the recent derby win at 
the Vicente Calderon and is set for another start. James Rodriguez also 
comes as Bale’s potential replacement, but the manager still lacks faith
 in the Colombian winger.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAG4tc2XJ4EItMGGN0uGMwbuR432zmJXKJ6PwlS_DvTgegRqpSTnPJLFvjpoZHaf1a_s1KJ6gmxOZN02NKlqrgfpxb0lBm-jrykwZdRqtmh_k5_LeNU3Ah53SnB07ui8zHHI5y6-pqCy8/s1600/Casemiro-1480677057.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAG4tc2XJ4EItMGGN0uGMwbuR432zmJXKJ6PwlS_DvTgegRqpSTnPJLFvjpoZHaf1a_s1KJ6gmxOZN02NKlqrgfpxb0lBm-jrykwZdRqtmh_k5_LeNU3Ah53SnB07ui8zHHI5y6-pqCy8/s640/Casemiro-1480677057.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
It will be interesting to see whether Zidane will throw Pepe in the 
heated clash right after returning from injury, or go with Raphael 
Varane at centre-back alongside Ramos. Casemiro’s return to full fitness
 means the Brazilian could start, alongside industrious Luka Modric and 
impressive Mateo Kovacic in the midfield.<br />

<span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Barcelona</strong></span><br />

Hosts Barcelona know the importance of this fixture, as another 
defeat will potentially end the title race. As far as the injuries are 
concerned, defender Jeremy Mathieu is ruled out of the clash.<br />

Samuel Umtiti played his part against Hercules and will be available 
for selection, while Jordi Alba, who picked up an ankle knock against 
Sociedad, is doubtful.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju0-5pVmO6ed6bki6cxukoeDlwtNzBoBlxQggTlxi3Kk1byPUoTp0VFYI0TimrZuMI8I4Pl_P9DLbqowNB44YLlAfdLESEyQdkKTyDCwtmc72CSFGjVEEEVlG_-I6wlLO5Y1YUWVMDq-U/s1600/Iniesta-1480677100.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju0-5pVmO6ed6bki6cxukoeDlwtNzBoBlxQggTlxi3Kk1byPUoTp0VFYI0TimrZuMI8I4Pl_P9DLbqowNB44YLlAfdLESEyQdkKTyDCwtmc72CSFGjVEEEVlG_-I6wlLO5Y1YUWVMDq-U/s640/Iniesta-1480677100.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The return of Andreas Iniesta comes as a timely boost for Barcelona, 
with the midfielder missing since he injured his knee away to Valencia 
in La Liga on October 22. The veteran has been back in training for a 
while, but it is unlikely to see him as a starter.<br />

Barca have no players suspended for the Clasico clash. Neymar is just
 one booking away from a ban, but came through safe in the 1-1 draw 
against Sociedad on Sunday.<br />

Enrique will look to pick his strongest side against Madrid, but 
given Iniesta lacks game-time, he will be consider to give summer 
signing Andre Gomes another start. One could see the defensive pair of 
Gerard Pique and Javier Mascherano start, with Sergi Roberto at 
right-back and Alba at left-back if he has recovered from his knee and 
ankle problems. Otherwise, the boss will hand Lucas Digne a start.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz7a-Q36UUb3m2iP8rwiyj0zx8oBrzRwsXViU2zkslGifZ9BloLyxckytLychQHuXnRYDUjwyPqzA6Iv5ad1bWs2OHPm49BCbanpNvy1nwVLvTwbd2ktVOdxmp4Ywxsg677hGICf8XJS0/s1600/Messi-1480677134.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz7a-Q36UUb3m2iP8rwiyj0zx8oBrzRwsXViU2zkslGifZ9BloLyxckytLychQHuXnRYDUjwyPqzA6Iv5ad1bWs2OHPm49BCbanpNvy1nwVLvTwbd2ktVOdxmp4Ywxsg677hGICf8XJS0/s640/Messi-1480677134.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar will continue to be in the 
attack, while Sergio Busquets and Ivan Rakitic are set to keep their 
places in the midfield. If not Gomes, there could be a possibility of 
Arda Turan starting.<br />

Given the form, Real Madrid will enter the clash as favourites. But 
this fixture has a funny habit of being won by the team that comes into 
the game in the worst form. So one can expect the unexpected!<br />

२० जना कर्मचारीको समुहले जीत्यो ४ सय २१ मिलियन अमेरिकी डलरको पावरबल ज्याकपट

 a low shot and is almost turned into the net by Pique, but the ball
