Real Madrid look to keep their title chances alive as they travel to Almeria tonight in La Liga. After losing to Barcelona in the famous 'El Clasico' on Saturday Real find themselves chasing their rivals and they are now three points from top with an inferior goal difference. The race is far from over but it would almost definitely be too much to overcome if Madrid drop points tonight and after crashing out of both the Champions League and the Spanish Cup Manuel Pelligrini is in real danger of finishing the season with nothing, failing to justify his team's extraordinary summer expenditure.

The second largest derby in Spanish football is held tonight at the Santiago Bernabeu as Real Madrid host cross-city rivals Atletico.
