Alexander Sorloth is again expected to be on the bench when Atletico Madrid travel to Barcelona in La Liga on Saturday night.

The Norway international scored his seventh league goal of the season after appearing as a substitute against Getafe last time out, with his effort helping Atletico make it 11 straight wins in all competitions during an incredible run.

However, Sorloth is currently behind both Antoine Griezmann and Julian Alvarez in the pecking order when it comes to the front two spots, so he is set to continue on the bench for the first whistle here.

Head coach Diego Simeone has big decisions to make all over the pitch, as the Argentine is set to have a fully-fit squad for the top-of-the-table clash providing that no late issues are reported.

There could be just one change from the side that took to the field for the first whistle against Getafe, with Conor Gallagher expected to earn a recall in a wide position.

Angel Correa, Nahuel Molina, Koke and Robin Le Normand will also be in the manager's thinking when it comes to potential changes, but all four are likely to be named on the bench.

Pablo Barrios is set to be given the nod alongside Rodrigo De Paul in the middle of midfield, while Marcos Llorente continues to impress at right-back and is likely to continue in that role for the contest with Hansi Flick's side.

Atletico Madrid possible starting lineup: Oblak; Llorente, Gimenez, Lenglet, Galan; Simeone, De Paul, Barrios, Gallagher; Alvarez, Griezmann
