Sports Mole looks at how Atletico Madrid could line up in Saturday's La Liga clash with Barcelona.

Atletico Madrid will be aiming to record their fifth straight La Liga victory when they welcome Barcelona to Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday night.

Diego Simeone's side have been excellent in Spain's top flight this season, picking up 17 points from their seven matches to occupy third spot in the table, three points off the summit with two games in hand.

Unbeaten in the league since February, Atletico thumped Cadiz 4-0 in their last game before the international break and will be full of confidence heading into this weekend's contest.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how the hosts could line up against Barca.


Out: Lucas Torreira (coronavirus), Hector Herrera (muscle), Luis Suarez (coronavirus), Mario Hermoso (muscle), Sime Vrsaljko (knee)
Doubtful: Stefan Savic (muscle), Diego Costa (hamstring)

Atletico will be without a number of important players for this weekend's contest, chiefly Luis Suarez, who misses the chance to face his former club due to a positive coronavirus test.

Lucas Torreira is also out, having tested positive for the virus, while Hector Herrera, Mario Hermoso and Sime Vrsaljko are all absent for the capital giants due to fitness issues.

Stefan Savic is a major doubt with a muscular problem, but Diego Costa could overcome a hamstring problem to make the bench, with the striker unlikely to be thrown straight into the XI.

Geoffrey Kondogbia made his debut against Cadiz before the international break and could now come into the starting side, while Angel Correa is expected to join Joao Felix as part of a front two.

Felipe will start alongside Jose Gimenez if Savic is unable to prove his fitness, while Marcos Llorente and Saul Niguez are likely to operate as the wide midfielders in a 4-2-2 formation.
