All eyes will be on Estadio Azteca on Sunday as traditional rivals Club America play Guadalajara in the highly anticipated Clasico Nacional, arguably the most popular derby in Liga MX.
Las Águilas are currently leading the charge in the 2021 Clausura with six wins from nine games and 20 points in the bag.
However, they're looking to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Toluca in their last outing, which saw both sides reduced to 10 men.
Things are not so good in the opposite camp as Chivas just sacked their manager Victor Vucetich following an unconvincing start to the season.
Despite beating Pachuca 1-0 last weekend, the Mexican was shown the door as the club remained down in ninth place with only 13 points from nine games.
Michel Leano is the interim coach.
