The latest edition of El Derbi Madrileño takes place today as Real Madrid host city rivals Atlético Madrid at the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium. The Madrid derby is one of the fesitiest fixtures of the La Liga season and it's all to play for at the top of the table. Don't miss a moment of the action with our Real Madrid vs Atlético Madrid live stream guide.
Defending La Liga champions Real Madrid currently sit in fourth place in the table after a mixed run of results. Shock defeats against the likes of Cádiz and Alavés will be seen as points dropped and stand in stark contrast with huge wins like their El Clásico win at FC Barcelona in October.
In their last outing, Los Blancos defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach in their final Champions League group stage game which saw them finish top of the group and progress to the knockout rounds.
It's five wins from five league games for Atlético Madrid who sit pretty at the La Liga summit with games in hand to boot. A win in today's rivalry game would go a huge way towards securing Los Rojiblancos' first La Liga title since 2014 and, with the usual La Liga leaders Real and Barca way off the pace, this could be their year.
Diego Simeone's side has also qualified for the knockout rounds of the Champions League after seeing off Red Bull Salzburg in their last outing.
