Real Madrid have the chance to move six points clear at the top of La Liga on Saturday, when they welcome city rivals Atletico Madrid to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Los Blancos were able to capitalise on Barcelona's slip-up at Valencia a week ago, with their win at Real Valladolid on Sunday enough to put them three points clear at the summit of the Spanish top flight.
With Barcelona not in action until Sunday when they host Levante, Real have the chance to pull even further clear in the derby.
