When time is kick off for Real Madrid vs Barcelona?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes, it's that time again. Club football's biggest showpiece - and arguably the finest showcase of global talent football has to offer - is ready for its first instalment of the season as Barcelona and Real Madrid meet in El Clasico this coming Saturday, November 21. The game starts at 5.15pm UK time (or 6.15pm local time) at Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kick off has been pushed back by 15 minutes to accommodate UK viewers (so you'd better watch it), because of the broadcasting law that forbids live football from being screened between 2.45pm and 5.15pm. </div>

Is there any danger it might be called off after the Paris attacks?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Europe is on high alert following the deadly bombings and shootings in the French capital and a friendly match between Spain and Belgium due to take place in Brussels later on Tuesday has been postponed. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But the Spanish government's top sports official has sent out a message of calm and said there is no reason for Real v Barcelona to be postponed. Miguel Cardenal, the head of Spain's sports council (CSD), said officials would meet on Wednesday to discuss security at the match and steps would be taken to allow fans to attend the match "with a guarantee of normality". </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We are the first ones interested in making sure nothing untoward occurs," Cardenal said. "So if anything happens that requires the public to be given certain instructions like suspending a match that will be done. The correct message is one of calm. The advice is the same as last week, to act normally and in absolute freedom." </div>

What is the team news? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There could be some big names missing, with Lionel Messi facing a race against time to be fit. The Argentine has missed the last 10 games, but he did return to training on Monday and you would have to think there is a fair chance Barca will do everything in their power to get him on the field. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Still, if he does not make it, Real's problems do not magically disappear: Neymar and Luis Suarez have flourished in his absence, scoring their last 16 league goals with Barcelona winning 8 of those 10 matches. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
• Gerard Pique picks his world dream team  </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Given that his team-mates have coped without him, it may well be that Messi only makes the bench for this match, with his long-term fitness the most important factor. </div>

For Real Madrid, Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez made their returns to action in the defeat at Sevilla but Karim Benzema missed out for, let's say, 'other' reasons, though he has also been struggling with an injury, too. He should be back for the Clasico. </div>

Prediction </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Real Madrid have the home advantage but given recent form it will be some ask to stop Barcelona's lethal strike force, whether or not Messi returns in time. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That said, Real have plenty of firepower of their own and both teams tend to score in these games, though they rarely end in draws. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Real Madrid 1-2 Barcelona </div>
