Vicente Calderón welcomes Real in first Madrid derby of the season

Atletico comes under early pressure to first Madrid City derbi of the season. Diego Simeone’s side goes into the tie on the back of a league defeat away against Villa

Atletico comes under early pressure to first Madrid City derbi of the season. Diego Simeone’s side goes into the tie on the back of a league defeat away against Villarreal and a loss at home to Benfica in the Champions League. Another defeat for Atletico would be their third league defeat of the campaign, given they lost to Barcelona in the third round of games and three defeats in seven matches would leave them with a lot of ground to make up. The game will kick-of at 19:30 GMT. -Liga BBVA Table-

Atlético and Real Madrid are more than familiar with each other after meeting eight times last season, and although Atletico had the better of their neighbours in the Spanish Supercup, the Spanish Cup and the La Liga, Real got their revenge by knocking them out of the Champions League. Torres comes to the fixture just one goal away from scoring his 100th goal for the club in all competitions. A derby apearance for the striker also would be a 200-game landmark in Red-and-white shirt.

Benitez has formed a side which has become a lot harder to score goals against but a draw at home against Malaga showed there is still work to do. Sunday should prove to be a test of both sides’ capacity to win this season’s title.
