Luis Suarez starts Clasico on Barcelona debut

The Uruguayan makes his first appearance for Barca, having served a four-match ban for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup.

He features in a fearsome three-man front line alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar. Xavi is preferred to Ivan Rakitic in midfield, while Jeremy Mathieu starts at left-back ahead of Jordi Alba.

Real Madrid make one change from the team that beat Liverpool in the Champions League, as Dani Carvajal replaces Alvaro Arbeloa at right-back.

Real Madrid: Casillas, Carvajal, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo; Modric, Kroos; Isco, James, Ronaldo; Benzema... Subs: Navas, Varane, Khedira, Hernandez, Arbeloa, Nacho, Illarra.

Barcelona: Bravo; Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Mathieu; Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta; Neymar, Suarez, Messi... Subs: Ter Stegen, Bartra, Alba, Rakitic, Sergi Roberto, Munir, Pedro.
