Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of El Clasico! This is the big one, it's Real Madrid against Barcelona. We'll bring you all the action from the Santiago Bernabeu. Kick off is at 7.45pm.

The difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona currently stands at three points, although the former have a game in hand over the latter. Barca really need to win this one.

Barcelona finally admitted defeat on trying to overturn Neymar's suspension and so Alcacer comes into the lineup to replace the Brazilian. He's got a rather void to fill this evening.

The big team news for Real Madrid is that Bale starts, with Isco dropping to the bench. That's a bold call from Zidane. Isco has been in exceptional form in recent weeks. He'll be disappointed.

TEAM NEWS: Real Madrid - Navas, Carvajal, Ramos, Nacho, Marcelo, Kroos, Casemiro, Modric, Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo. /// Barcelona - Ter Stegen, Roberto, Pique, Umtiti, Alba, Busquets, Rakitic, Iniesta, Messi, Suarez, Paco.
