The visitors are without the experienced Inigo Martinez at the back as he serves a suspension but elsewhere on the pitch, there’s no new injury concerns. As a result, De Marcos, Nunez, Alvarez and Yuri form the backline with Berenguer, Vesga, Lopez and Muniain all starting across the midfield. Williams and Garcia start upfront for the visitors who are looking to extend their recent good run of form in the Spanish top-flight.
After opting with a four at the back system against rivals Real Madrid last weekend, Atletico revert to a more familiar three at the back formation for this LaLiga clash.
