Team News
Atletico
Villarreal
- Alvaro Morata is in tremendous form and should start. In midweek he scored two goals against Celtic to overtake the likes of Luis Suarez in overall number of Champions League goals scored.
- Rodrigo Riquelme has been playing more frequently and the youngster could well become a permanent fixture for Diego Simeone.
- Atleti are without four players through injury.
- Villarreal find themselves with a number of key players out with injury. The visitors' boss Pacheta will have to plug some holes with necessary players, rather than ones he would prefer to play there.
- Ben Brereton should come in for the injured Gerard Moreno. Former PL defenders Kiko Femenia and Alberto Moreno should fill in on the flanks.
