Meanwhile, Barcelona are without Philippe Coutinho and Ivan Rakitić.

Without the pair, Arturo Vidal comes into the team and Ernesto Valverde has his side lined up in a 4-4-2 formation to match the hosts.

Barcelona sit top of LaLiga heading into the game but could lose that place to Atlético tonight. However, Atleti have not beaten Barcelona in LaLiga since 2010.
