La Liga line ups: Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone makes two changes to his starting XI, from the side that lost to Real Betis last weekend. 

Captain Diego Godin returns from injury and slots into the back four and Saul Niguez comes into midfield. Juanfran and Rodrigo Hernandez drop to the bench.

Real Madrid manager Santiago Solari recalls Thibaut Courtois and Sergio Reguilon, who were rested for the midweek Copa del Rey draw with Barcelona, to replace Keylor Navas and Marcelo.

Midfielder Marcos Llorente misses out through injury, so Braziian international Casemiro returns to midfield.
