La Liga leader Real Madrid faces its sternest test of the season on Saturday when it takes on nearby rival Atlético in El Derbi Madrileño.
Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game as it happens.
Los Blancos come into this key fixture with a perfect record to protect, having claimed six straight wins from their opening matches in Spain's top league, albeit against opposition they would have expected to beat.
Today's derby encounter is a different proposition entirely. While Atlético has made an underwhelming start to the season, Diego Simeone's men are sure to raise their game against their local rivals. They come into this emotive match having already claimed a Madrid derby victory in midweek with a gutsy 3-2 win against Rayo Vallecano.
