One of the standout fixtures of the Spanish La Liga season - and a potentially pivotal clash in terms of the title race - will take place at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium on Sunday as Zinedine Zidane's Real Madrid take on Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid in the 'El Derbi Madrileno.'

Atletico hold a five-point lead over Real and Ronald Koeman's Barcelona, who have both played a game more than Simeone's side, on 58 points.

Atletico's form has been mixed with only two victories in their last five La Liga matches - but they did defeat Villarreal 2-0 last time out, having suffered back-to-back home defeats to Levante and Chelsea in their UEFA Champions League round of 16 first leg prior to that win.

Yannick Carrasco has recovered from injury and Kieran Trippier is also available following a 10-match betting suspension.
