It's arguably the biggest club game in world football. Real Madrid and Barcelona go head-to-head at the Bernabeu for another spectacular edition of the El Clasico.

Barcelona are top of the league, four points clear of their bitter rivals, but Los Blancos are playing some truly stunning football led by Cristiano Ronaldo.

With the first 15 minutes of this match not being aired on British television because of Saturday blackout rules, we will bring you all the action from what is hotting up to be a brilliant match.

Gareth Bale may be missing for the home side but Carlo Ancelotti can still call on the talents of Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos.

For Barcelona, £75m man Luis Suarez is likely to make his debut, while Luis Enrique can also call upon Lionel Messi and Neymar.

Coverage will come later, but for the time being who do you think has the better front three (including the missing Bale)?
