Real Madrid vs Atlético Madrid - Team news

Real Madrid get to this game as league leaders, with nine wins and one draw in their last ten La Liga fixtures. Los Merengues have only lost two games this season, and they came precisely against Atlético (one in La Liga, the other in the Copa del Rey). The clash between these football titans will also give fans the chance to see the top scorer in the Spanish top-flight, with Jude Bellingham trying to add to his 14-goal haul in the domestic tournament.

On the other hand, Atlético reach this fixture in third place, with a record showing fifteen wins, two draws, and five losses. Los Colchoneros are ten points behind Real Madrid in the title race, giving them the need of a win here to keep their title hopes alive. Diego Simeone's men will have to adjust to some absences, although recent signings such as Arthur Vermeeren may get a chance to shine here. Antoine Griezmann will be leading Atlético's efforts up front as he has done all season. The Frenchman has scored eleven times and has handed out six assists, making him quite the goalscoring threat for Los Merengues on Sunday evening.

Unfortunately, there will be some key absences that will be sidelined for this match. Here is the list of unavailable footballers for this classic La Liga game.

Real Madrid: Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao, David Alaba (injured); Antonio Rüdiger (doubtful).

Atlético Madrid: Vitolo, Thomas Lemar, Marcos Paulo, César Azpilicueta, José María Giménez, Álvaro Morata (injured).
