It’s time for the season’s first El Derbi in LaLiga as Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid ready themselves to lock horns.

Los Blancos got off to a perfect start in the domestic competition as they won all of their five games. They will be heading into the fixture on the back of a comfortable 2-0 win over RB Leipzig and will hope to maintain the momentum against their cross-town rivals.
