Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have confirmed their starting sides for Saturday's Madrid derby at Bernabeu, with the top two in La Liga set to meet for a fascinating battle.

Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe both missed out against Leganes in the Copa del Rey last week due to minor injuries, but the pair have recovered and are in the starting side for the clash in Spain's top flight.

Lucas Vazquez is also back, with the Spaniard recovering from the minor issue that also saw him left out against Leganes, while Aurelien Tchouameni and Raul Asencio will operate in the middle of the defence.

Antonio Rudiger, David Alaba, Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal are the four first-team absentees for Real Madrid.

As for Atletico, head coach Diego Simeone has selected Samuel Lino down the left, with Conor Gallagher on the bench.

Robin Le Normand misses out through suspension, but Atletico have a fully-fit squad, with Rodrigo De Paul and Pablo Barrios selected in central midfield, while Julian Alvarez and Antoine Griezmann are the front two, as Alexander Sorloth starts on the bench.
