Round two of El Clasico takes place this weekend at the Bernabeu, with the result likely to determine the winner of the title this year. Barcelona and Real Madrid are equal on points, but Madrid top the table on goal difference, where they are one goal ahead. They will have seven games left after the match on Saturday and Barca probably have the harder run in, with games against Villareal and Sevilla still to come.

Barcelona host Athletic Bilbao tonight, hoping to pick up a win on the back of a great performance against Arsenal which they failed to win.

Nevertheless, Los Cules will still be confident of progressing to the semi-finals, but must not become distracted as the league table is amazingly tight.
