Arda Turan talks up Atletico Madrid's chances

Atletico Madrid midfielder Arda Turan says that his side are the favourites to win the Madrid derby against Real Madrid on Sunday.

Arda Turan believes that Atletico Madrid are the favourites to win the Madrid derby against Real Madrid on Sunday afternoon.

Atletico enter the match three points behind Real in La Liga, but Diego Simeone's side are unbeaten on their own patch in the league this season.

"Favourites to win the derby? Us. It's hard to pick a favourite in a derby, but playing at the Calderon, we're favourites because we're at home," the Atletico midfielder told Marca.

"We've already shown how to beat Real Madrid and we've done it twice. We have to be ourselves and fight, sweat blood and tears, give our all. We have to play our game. They have more talented players, but we're fearless.

"We aren't scared of them. We've already beaten them, both in the league and the Cup. An Atletico player must never be scared."

Atletico have lost four of their last six games in all competitions, including a 2-0 defeat to Los Blancos in this stadium in the Copa del Rey semi-finals last month.
