------------------------------
Atletico Madrid
Angel Correa remains suspended, while Samuel Lino and Rodrigo De Paul are sidelined through injury. They do have a boost as Jose Gimenez returns to the squad after serving a suspension in the previous match.
Diego Simeone is unlikely to make too many changes to the XI that secured all three points in their last outing. They will stick with the 4-4-2 formation, where Jan Oblak will be in goal. Nahuel Molina and Javi Galan should be the full-backs, while Robin Le Normand should partner with Jose Gimenez at the heart of the defence.
Giuliano Simeone and Conor Gallagher could feature on the flanks in midfield. They will look to contribute on both ends of the pitch. Meanwhile, Marcos Llorente and Pablo Barrios will take up central roles. In attack, Julian Alvarez should continue to partner with Antoine Griezmann.
Real Valladolid
While David Torres and Javi Sanchez will be back available following suspensions last time out, Mario Martin is unavailable for this one following a red card in their last outing. Meanwhile, Karl Hein and Florian Grillitsch could both undergo a late fitness test.
The visitors will also line up in a 4-4-2 formation, where Andre Ferreira will be in goal. The back four will be made up of Antonio Candela, David Torres, Cenk Ozkacar and Javi Sanchez. Candela and Sanchez will be on the flanks, while the other two will feature in the heart of the defence.
Ivan Sanchez and Raul Moro will feature in the wide areas in midfield. They will look to contribute on both ends of the pitch. Meanwhile, Tamas Nikitscher and Anuar Mohamed Tuhami will look to ensure the Atletico Madrid midfielders do not dominate the proceedings. Mamadou Sylla will partner with Juanmi Latasa in the final third of the pitch.
Atletico Madrid possible starting lineup:
Oblak; Molina, Le Normand, Gimenez, Galan; Simeone, Llorente, Barrios, Gallagher; Alvarez, Griezmann
Real Valladolid possible starting lineup:
Ferreira; Candela, Torres, Okzacar, J Sanchez; I Sanchez, Nikitscher, Tuhami, Moro; Sylla, Latasa
