--------------------------------------------------------
Atletico Madrid
Diego Simeone’s team will be without the services of Cesar Azpilicueta, Thomas Lemar, and Pablo Barrios. Apart from the trio, the Argentine manager has no fresh injury concerns to worry about.
Julian Alvarez, who scored the winner in their last outing, should return to the mix along with a few other key players. Simeone will stick to the 3-5-2 formation, where Jan Oblak will be in goal.
Robin Le Normand, Jose Maria Gimenez, and Reinildo Mandava will form the back three for the home team. They will look for a clean sheet against the star-studded Real Madrid attack and receive some support from Marcos Llorente and Samuel Lino, who will feature as the wing-backs.
Rodrigo De Paul will start in the centre of the park alongside Koke and Conor Gallagher, who is all set for his first taste of the Madrid derby. As for the attack, Alvarez will pair up with French superstar Antoine Griezmann.
Real Madrid
Kylian Mbappe picked up an injury in their last outing and has joined Brahim Diaz, David Alaba, and Dani Ceballos on the sidelines. But, Real Madrid do have a boost as recent reports suggest Eduardo Camavinga has passed a late fitness test and should be a part of the squad for the derby.
Dani Carvajal is expected to return to the starting XI after missing the last fixture because of a knock. With Mbappe out injured, Ancelotti could look to revert to the 4-4-2 diamond formation that did wonders for Los Blancos last season. Thibaut Courtois will continue in goal.
Carvajal and Ferland Mendy will be the full-backs, while Eder Militao and Antonio Rudiger will feature in the heart of the defence. Aurelien Tchouameni will be the defensive midfielder in front of the backline, while Federico Valverde and Luka Modric will be in his support. Finally, Jude Bellingham should start as the attacking midfielder behind the attacking partnership of Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior.
Atletico Madrid possible starting lineup:
Oblak; Le Normand, Gimenez, Reinildo; Llorente, De Paul, Koke, Gallagher, Lino; Alvarez, Griezmann
Real Madrid possible starting lineup:
Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy; Valverde, Tchouameni, Modric; Bellingham; Rodrygo, Vinicius

Prediction: Atletico Madrid 1-1 Real Madrid
The two teams drew 1-1 in their last La Liga meeting in February, and we can see the same scoreline occurring here. Mbappe is a huge miss for Real Madrid, and Atletico are just not conceding goals at the moment, so we have had to settle on a low-scoring draw, which both managers would likely accept ahead of kickoff.
