Real Madrid welcome Atletico Madrid to the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday evening in a Madrid derby which could have a big impact on the Liga title race.
Carlo Ancelotti's side began the weekend eight points clear at the top of the table and a win against their cross-city rivals would put them in an even healthier position.
A victory for Diego Simeone's men, however, would put them within seven points of their rivals and, with Los Rojiblancos boasting a game in hand, the title race would remain very much alive.

Elsewhere Vinicius Junior is available at 7/1 (8.00) with Antoine Griezmann at 8/1 (9.00).

Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid preview
Usually, these matches are tight affairs with few goals and plenty of tension, yet this weekend's Madrid derby might be a little different.
Atletico Madrid have prided themselves in recent years on being a rock-solid defensive unit, a quality which this season has clearly deserted them.
Los Rojiblancos have kept just three clean sheets in their last 15 competitive fixtures and they look set to struggle once more against the best attacking side in the division.
Naturally, a lot will rest on whether Benzema is fit enough to feature, yet without the striker Real Madrid have won their last two games pretty comfortably against tricky opposition in Real Sociedad and Inter.
Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid tips & predictions
