Who'd be an Atletico supporter?

If they lose tonight, they'd be 11 points behind their rivals. We're only in September!

Real Madrid have scored 298 goals in 172 matches against Atletico and could become the second team in the history of La Liga to score 300 goals in regional derbies after Barcelona against Espanyol (340 goals in 176 matches).

Could Antoine Griezmann be Atleti's hero tonight?

He has scored seven goals in 26 games against Real Madrid in La Liga, five in his 14 derbies.

In fact, no Atletico player has scored more goals against Real Madrid in the league across the entire 21st century.

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has suffered seven defeats against Diego Simeone in all competitions (P20: W8, D5). Only against Luciano Spalletti (11) and Roberto Mancini (8) has he lost more games in his entire managerial career.

After scoring against Athletic Bilbao on matchday one, Jude Bellingham could become the third player to score in both his debut for Real Madrid in La Liga and in his first league derby against Atletico, after Luís Figo and Wesley Sneijder.

We can't not talk about Jude Bellingham.

Last time out he scored an injury-time tap-in as Real Madrid left it late to beat Champions League debutants Union Berlin on Wednesday.

Bellingham's strike was his sixth goal in six matches for Madrid since joining Los Blancos this summer.

Carlo Ancelotti chose to play him in a more advanced number 10 role, and the former Borussia Dortmund and Birmingham City star once again excelled.

For the third time already in his Real career, the 20-year-old netted a winner for Los Blancos inside the final 10 minutes.

Indeed, without Bellingham's goals Real Madrid would be nine points worse off just six matches into the season.

Same again tonight?
