Espanyol's Victor Sanchez is expecting a tough game against Atletico Madrid in La Liga, even if a weakened team arrives at Cornella-El Prat.
Atletico Madrid go into Saturday's La Liga match at Espanyol with one eye on their Champions League tie against Barcelona, leaving the hosts hopeful of springing a surprise.
Atletico had Fernando Torres sent off and surrendered a one-goal lead at Camp Nou on Tuesday to lose 2-1 in the first leg of their quarter-final clash.
And while Luis Enrique's men now appear in charge of the last-eight showdown, their Clasico loss against Real Madrid last weekend saw Atletico close to within six points of the Liga leaders domestically.
