Atletico Madrid will entertain league leaders Barcelona at the Metropolitano in an exciting La Liga clash on Sunday (January 8). The hosts resumed their league campaign following the international break with a 2-0 home win over Elche. Joao Felix and Alvaro Morata scored in the second half. With 27 points after 15 games, Los Rojiblancos are fourth in the standings.

Barcelona, meanwhile, saw their winning run in La Liga come to an end after five games with a 1-1 draw against local rivals Espanyol at home last weekend. Marcos Alonso opened the scoring in the seventh minute, but Joselu equalised in the 73rd from the penalty spot in a game that saw both sides end with ten men.

The stalemate means Barcelona (38) now lead second-placed Real Madrid on goal difference.

Atlético Madrid vs Barcelona team news

Atletico could be boosted by the return of Stefan Savic, who has trained ahead of the match, but Sergio Reguilon and Mario Hermoso are both injury doubts for the home side.

Simeone selected a strong team against Real Oviedo in the Copa del Rey, and it is expected to be a similar XI for this match, albeit with some alterations, with Pablo Barrios and Geoffrey Kondogbia set to start.

Savic will also be in the XI if he can prove his fitness over the next 24 hours, with the 31-year-old absent in the Copa del Rey last time out due to a muscular issue.

Felix was not in the squad against Real Oviedo amid the speculation surrounding his future, but the Portugal international is expected to be on the bench here.
