Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid Predicted Line-ups

A few hours before Madrid's derby in La Liga, Real Madrid will host their rivals Atletico Madrid tonight at 22:00 CLT.

Both coaches have potentially made up their minds on the line ups, who will start today's derby.

Scarcely any changes of personnel are anticipated as Zinedine Zidane and Diego Simeone prepare to pick their line-ups for Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid's Spanish-capital derby.

Madrid boss Zidane is expected to present just the one new face into the side that began Wednesday's victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Champions League - a 2-0 triumph that took Los Blancos into the last 16 as group winners - with Dani Carvajal set to return to the XI.

First-choice right-back Carvajal is ready to begin after overcoming a hamstring injury that has kept him out of Madrid's last three games.

As for Atlético, Simeone was able to rest Koke, Marcos Llorente, Yannick Carrasco and João Félix in the 2-0 LaLiga win over Real Valladolid a week ago and the quartet are all in line to return to league action for the leaders, in an XI that is likely to be unchanged from Wednesday’s Champions League triumph at RB Salzburg.

The Predicted Line-ups is as follows:

Real Madrid XI:

Courtois, Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Mendy, Casemiro, Modric, Kroos, Lucas Vázquez, Benzema, Vinicius.

Atlético Madrid XI:

Oblak, Savic, Felipe, Hermoso, Trippier; Carrasco, Llorente, Koke, Saúl, Luis Suárez, João Félix.
