Getafe host league leaders Real Madrid in the Madrid derby at the Coliseum on Sunday in a La Liga Matchday 9 fixture.
Fresh off the international break, Madrid will be keen to maintain their spot at the top of the table. Kylian Mbappe, who has been in sensational scoring form, is reportedly set to be available for Madrid despite recent ankle discomfort with the French national team.
Getafe, known for their pragmatic and hard-to-beat style under Jose Bordalas, will rely on their home advantage to try and frustrate the title contenders.
Xabi Alonso’s side needs to be wary of Getafe's compact organization and counter-attacking threat, especially with a massive El Clasico looming next weekend.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Bordalas will have his full squad available for selection if Djene Dakonam and Jiri Letacek are deemed fit for the clash.

Adrian Liso will return to the starting lineup after returning from the U20 World Cup following Spain's elimination.
