Real Madrid are back in La Liga action and it's a big one as they take on rivals Atletico in the Madrid derby. The game takes place at Metropolitano Stadium, with Los Blancos looking to keep their impressive winning streak to start the season.

The big question regarding the starting lineup is whether Jude Bellingham would start after getting 30 minutes against Levante. The Englishman does start, with Arda Guler moving into a front three. Franco Mastantuono drops to the bench.
