    John McEnerney: Can see the race for La Liga becoming more interesting after this, going for an away win. Real Madrid fierce sloppy of late, can't be today

  3. LINE-UPSpublished at 15:10 British Summer Time 8 April 2017

    No surprises for either side in the line-ups today.

    A good omen for Real -   they have not lost any of their six competitive games against Atletico (W1 D2) or Barcelona (W2 D1) with combative midfielder Casemiro on the pitch. He starts today.

    Real Madrid: Navas, Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo, Kroos, Modric, Casemiro, Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale. Subs: Nacho, Rodriguez, Casilla, Kovacic, Vazquez, Morata, Isco.

    Atletico Madrid: Oblak, Juanfran, Godín, Savic, Filipe Luis, Gabi, Koke, Saul, Carrasco, Griezmann, Torres. Subs: Correa, Cerci, Hernandez, Partey, Gimenez, Moreira, Nunez.

  4. The battle for the La Liga titlepublished at 15:05 British Summer Time 8 April 2017

    This game is probably a bigger one for Real Madrid than Atletico today. They need to win today to ensure they remain top of La Liga this weekend (Barcelona go to Malaga later).

    For Atleti, who are surely out of the title race barring something truly special - which would have to begin today - it's about holding onto third place and a Champions League group place.

  5. Buckle in for the Madrid derbypublished at 14:58 British Summer Time 8 April 2017

    The Madrid derby has given us some tense, thrilling games in recent years - the 2014 and 2016 Champions League finals come to mind.

    Last time they met back in November, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick as Real won 3-0.

    Atletico are the only side in La Liga history to have won at the Bernabeu on three consecutive trips. 

    Can they make it four? Let's find out.
