Real Madrid are preparing for the arrival of city rivals Atletico Madrid for yet another El Derbi Madrileño.

The Galacticos, who are currently sitting pretty at the top of the La Liga standings will lock horns with their red and white rivals ten points behind them in fourth.

Carlo Ancelotti's side have been on fire so far during the 2021/22 campaign, winning all of their last five games in all competitions and Karim Benzema leads the goalscoring charts with 12 to his name.

Atleti managed to bounce back from their disappointing 2-1 home defeat to Real Mallorca with a 3-1 away win at FC Porto which saw them advance to the Last 16 of the Champions League. 

Diego Simeone will be hoping his side can kick on from their morale-boosting win on the continent by frustrating Real, who are situated just eight miles apart in the Spanish capital.
