Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid name lineups for derby clash

It’s a big one in the Spanish capital on Sunday as Atlético de Madrid host rivals Real Madrid.

Ahead of kick-off at the Wanda Metropolitano, both teams have named their starting line ups.

Atleti call Rodrigo De Paul back in place of Koke while Julian Alvarez earns a nod over Giuliano Simeone.

Real Madrid are without star attacker Kylian Mbappé due to injury, seeing Luka Modrić start. Midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, meanwhile, is on the bench.

Following Barcelona’s loss at Osasuna yesterday, a win for Atleti would move them into second place, three points behind the leaders.

Meanwhile, a win for second place Real Madrid would close the gap to just one point.
