Good afternoon and welcome to LIVE coverage of Barcelona against Real Madrid from the Camp Nou. First El Clasico off season in Liga. Barcelona trying to make up ground on the Liga leaders, who could move nine points clear with a win over their fierce rivals.

A reminder of today's teams...

Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Roberto, Mascherano, Pique, Alba; Gomes, Busquets, Rakitic; Neymar, Suarez, Messi

Real Madrid: Navas; Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo; Kovacic, Modric, Isco; Vasquez, Benzema, Ronaldo

FIVE MINUTES UNTIL KICK-OFF! The players emerge from the tunnel for what is deemed the world's biggest club game. Hold onto your seats, this match is going to be a rollercoaster!

Cristiano Ronaldo is more successful away from home - 10 out of his 16 Clasico goals were scored at Camp Nou and two more today would equal Alfredo Di Stefano's record 18 goals against Real's fierce rivals.

Lionel Messi is the top goalscorer in El Clasico history, with 21 to his name. However, he has not scored in a Clasico match where he has been playing at the same time as both Luis Suarez and Neymar. Can he put an end to such a bizarre record today?

Meanwhile, Real Madrid are undefeated in their last 25 games in the league and have won their last six in a row in La Liga. If they can extend that record this afternoon, you'd suspect Zinedine Zidane will be a happy man.

Despite the fact they're unbeaten their last six league matches, Barcelona have just picked up two points from the last six following draws against Málaga and Real Sociedad.

Real Madrid last won at the Camp Nou in the league in 2012, but with a victory against an out-of-sorts Barcelona they will be an astonishing nine points clear at the top of the table. Madrid are unbeaten in 31 games while Barcelona somehow emerged from the Anoeta with a 1-1 draw despite being completely outclassed by Real Sociedad.
