Atletico Madrid face Real Madrid in La Liga on Saturday in what is expected to be a hotly-contested derby with both sides desperate to claim local bragging rights.
Atletico's bid for a second La Liga title in five years suffered a blow last week as they succumbed to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Real Betis. Currently six points behind leaders Barcelona, it is imperative that Diego Simeone's side do not lose any further ground at the weekend against their arch-enemies Real.
Los Blancos will be heading into the fixture brimming with confidence having won their last four in La Liga, producing particularly impressive displays in victories over the likes of Alaves and Sevilla in recent weeks.
