Real Madrid might have their fair share of defensive injuries – Antonio Rudiger, Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal remain out while David Alaba is still working his way back – but that’s a heck of a squad in terms of depth elsewhere.
Real Madrid v Atlético Madrid: La Liga – live This is by no means the only live football game on this evening.
Atlético have only lost twice in 22 league games this season, conceding just 14 goals and you just know Diego Simeone will relish the opportunity to topple Real and go top in one fell swoop.
Conor Gallagher doesn’t make the start for Atletico, who will be looking to the in-form Giuliano Simeone – son of head coach Diego, of course – to make an impact from the start.
Real Madrid (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Vázquez, Tchouaméni, Asencio, F.Garcia; Valverde, Ceballos; Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vinicius Jr; Mbappé.
