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.

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.

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