Atletico Madrid: 3-0-2

 

• Sergio Ramos and Luka Modric return to the first-team fold at a vital point for Real Madrid. Toni Kroos and Alvaro Morata both have long-term injuries, with Casemiro not ready for action yet despite training this week. Karim Benzema and Pepe also trained away from the group over the last few days, but the former might be forced into a start due to a lack of options.

• Antoine Griezmann is a doubt for the home side, but should start despite picking up a foot injury on international duty with France. No changes are expected within the back four from Diego Simeone, with Saul expected to play on the right despite Nicolas Gaitan’s return to full fitness. Kevin Gameiro should lead the line with Griezmann, with the in-form Yannick Carrasco out on the left flank.

• Atletico Madrid have been out of sorts of late in La Liga, as Los Colchoneros have lost two of their last three league games, falling to away defeats against both Sevilla and Real Sociedad

• At home, however, Simeone’s men are still unbeaten this campaign, but have failed to keep clean sheets in their last two matches at the Vicente Calderon.

• Real Madrid recorded their first clean sheet in 11 games last time out, and are unbeaten in their last 16 away league outings.
