    I really want a barca win, but at the moment Madrid are playing better and barca are off the boil a bit.

    Madrid rightly go into Saturday as favourites, they are on fire at the minute. I wonder how Jose will approach this, will he play open and hope it's good enough to beat Barca, or will he try to suffocate them and hit on the break like he's done in the past.

    I think it depends what Barcelona show up, if they play like they have been the last month or so then I think they'll lose, but of course if they turn up like they can do they beat any side Madrid can field. Team selection comes into it too for Guardiola, I think he'll revert to his tried and trusted 4-3-3 but if he has to play midfielders at centre back or tries to play 3-4-3 to accommodate Cesc I think he is asking for trouble. I couldn't believe he didn't sign a centre half in the summer and wonder if it may come back to haunt him on Saturday night.

    Hoping for a Barca win but Real Madrid look quality at the minute.
    Still think Barca will scrape it, 3-2.
