Real Madrid vs Atlético Madrid: how and where to watch - times, TV, online

Real Madrid welcome their city rivals Atlético across town to play in the LaLiga match known as El Derbi. Two hours by foot, 45 minutes on the metro, or just a quarter of an hour on the ringroad, the distance between the clubs' stadiums is negligible, but the importance of bragging rights in the Spanish capital are everything.

Real Madrid vs Atlético Madrid: watch, listen, follow

The Santiago Bernabéu will be electric on Saturday afternoon as Diego Simeone arrives with his side in desperate need of some positivity. It's unlikely, however, that his local host, Zinedine Zidane, will have any plans to offer him up some neighbourly generosity.

Los Blancos are sitting pretty at the summit of the table and, many would argue, have an easier set of fixtures ahead of them as they battle with Barcelona for the title. Recent wins against Valladolid, Sevilla and Getafe in the league have been intermingled with Copa progression over Zaragoza and Unionistas. Three points would ensure Madrid stay top dogs, both in the capital and of LaLiga.

Atleti need goals. A goalless draw at home against Leganés and a 2-0 reverse in Éibar have highlighted the problems of the Rojiblancos. Edinson Cavani was seen as a potential solution, but that deal fell through. Stubborness at the back continues to define Simeone's team, something that has them holding on to the coattails of those in the Champions League positions, but it would take a brave gambler to put much on them taking all three points on Saturday.
