Real Madrid host Barcelona in the first El Clásico of the season. Dean Huijsen is back with the team and so are Dani Carvajal, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dani Ceballos, so coach Xabi Alonso will have more options to choose from even though Fede Valverde will likely start in the right-back spot.
Real Madrid predicted XI: Courtois, Valverde, Militao, Huijsen, Carreras, Tchouameni, Camavinga, Bellingham, Güler, Vinicius, Mbappé.
Barcelona predicted XI: Szczesny, Kounde, Cubarsi, Garcia, De Jong, Pedri, Fermin, Rashford, Yamal, Ferran.
Alonso has to make a very crucial decision with his midfield line. Will Camavinga start alongside Tchouameni and Bellingham or will Güler play in that spot in order to fit Mastantuono on the right flank?
