Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid LIVE – Rodrygo fires the visitors in front

It's not that long since these two last met, with Atletico getting a rare win 1-0 thanks to Yannick Carrasco's penalty in May

A 2-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League wasn't the greatest preparation for the Madrid Derby for Atleti. They've done well of late in the league though, sitting five points behind Real after a run of three games unbeaten

It's been a scintilating start to the season for Real Madrid, who've won eight successive matches, including two in the Champions League group stages, and the Super Cup against Frankfurt. Can they make it nine in a row tonight?

Real have only lost SEVEN times against Atletico in the league, winning 30 of their 54 meetings

Karim Benzema is still out after getting injured in the Champions League against Celtic. Real make three changes though - Eder Militao, Ferland Mendy, Toni Kroos for Antonio Rudiger, Nacho and Eduardo Camavinga

The Antoine Griezmann situation at Atleti is wild. Basically, if he plays more than half of the minutes he's available for, they have an obligation to buy him off Barca for £40m...but they can't afford to, so he's been coming on in the 60th minute of each match! He starts tonight though - as do Jan Oblak, Rodrigo de Paul, Geoffrey Kondogbia and for Nahuel Molina, Mario Hermaso, Saul Niguez, Alvaro Morata

ATLETICO MADRID: Oblak; Felipe, Witsel, Reinildo; Llorente, de Paul, Kondogbia, Koke, Carrasco, Griezmann, Felix...Subs: Grbic, Gomis, Moreno, Hermaso, Molina, Niguez, Morata, Cunha, Correa /// REAL MADRID: Courtois, Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Modric, Tchounameni, Kroos; Valverde, Rodrygo, Junior...Subs: Lopez, Lunin, Odriozola, Nacho, Vallejo, Rudiger, Camagina, Ceballos, Hazard, Diaz, Asensio

Hello and welcome to tonight's coverage of the Madrid Derby from the Wanda. Can Real rack up a ninth successive victory, or will they be thwarted by their rivals? Team news coming up
