With Barcelona only one point away from Real Madrid after an unbeaten start to the season so far, they will be looking to step up the defence of the title that they won last season by taking top spot from their major challengers.
So far, Barcelona have managed without Pedri since his injury, and have won six of the seven games that the star midfielder has missed, but they will certainly be keen to have him back against Real Madrid.
