Teams: Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid
Date: 01 February 2020
Venue: Santiago Bernabeu
The City of Madrid will be divided once again as LaLiga leaders Real Madrid welcome Atletic Madrid to the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday evening.
The match is scheduled to get underway at 17h00.
Los Blancos secured top spot in the Spanish top flight last weekend with a 1-0 victory away to Real Valladolid after Barcelona lost at Valencia.
Some of the big Los Blancos stars will be well rested for tonight's clash after the fringe players were given a run in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday, although Eden Hazard and Gareth Bale will miss today's encounter.
Atletico, meanwhile, come into the encounter in shaky form after the goalless draw with Leganes extended the sides winless run to four matches across all competitions.
Los Rojiblancos have also since boasted their attack with the return of Yannick Carrasco, who registered 23 goals and 17 assists in 124 appearances in his first stint with the club.
These two sides recently met earlier this month, where Zinedine Zidane's defeated Atletico on penalties to claim the Spanish Super Cup.
Real Madrid: Courtois, Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Mendy, Casemiro, Kroos, Valverde, Modric, Isco, Benzema.
Atletico Madrid: Oblak; Vrsaljko, Felipe, Savic, Renan Lodi; Vitolo, Marcos Llorente, Thomas, Saúl; Morata, Correa.
