Barcelona will be desperate to keep their unbeaten season intact when Real Madrid come to the Camp Nou tonight.

Ernesto Valverde’s side are on the cusp of completing an unbeaten domestic season, but must beat their biggest rivals first.

Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez will spearhead the attack in an expected 4-4-2 formation, with Andres Iniesta set to star in his final Clasico before moving to China.

Nelson Semedo had come into the starting team in place of the suspended Sergi Roberto, and the two will battle it out for the right-back spot.

Barcelona XI: ter Stegen, Roberto, Pique, Umtiti, Alba, Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta, Coutinho, Messi, Suarez

Out: Samper

Suspended: None
