Two of Liga MX's biggest clubs are set to renew their rivalry, as defending champions Club America play host to CF Monterrey on Saturday night at the Estadio Azteca.
It's a top-of-the-table showdown between two behemoths, as both sides have yet to lose thus far, having accumulated 10 points from their opening four games of the 2024 Clausura season, with Rayados leading only on goals scored with eight.
The Eagles have performed brilliantly over the past year and a half. They managed to easily scoop the Apertura title, and are now crushing it in the Clausura campaign as well. Sure, they were held to a point last time out on the road at Necaxa, but Las Aguilas will be eager to prove that was just a minor blip with a statement victory here.
Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.

Team news & squads
CF America team news
Club America will remain without the services of centre-back Nester Araujo, who is still recovering from an LCL tear that was sustained during the 2023 Clausura in September. America boss Andre Jardine will call upon the likes of Israel Reyes and Sebastian Caceres to shore up the central defence.
Winger Leonard Suarez is absent due to an ankle injury, which may allow Alex Zendejas and Brian Rodriguez to play more minutes out wide.
Midfielder Richard Sanchez misses out via suspension after picking up a red card last time out against Necaxa. Meanwhile, Jonathan dos Santos, Alvaro Fidalgo, and Diego Valdes will patrol the middle of the park.
Club America predicted XI: Malagon; Calderon, Reyes, Juarez, Lichnovsky; Valdes, dos Santos, Reyes, Fidalgo; Quinones, Martin.

Jesus Gallardo's knee injury rules him out from this blockbuster matchup, which means Gerardo Arteaga, who has just been signed from Belgian side Genk, could be in line for his first start.
