Atletico Madrid will be aiming to make it six straight La Liga victories when they welcome Alaves to Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday night.
Diego Simeone's side are fourth in the La Liga table, picking up 22 points from their opening nine league games, while Alaves are down in 15th, boasting nine points from their first 10 matches of 2023-24.
As a result, their position in the table and points total is even more impressive, boasting a record of seven wins, one draw and one defeat from nine games to collect 22 points, which has left them fourth, three points behind leaders Real Madrid, crucially with a match in hand.
Atletico could be top of the table at the moment if that Sevilla game had gone ahead, and with Barcelona and Real Madrid playing each other this weekend, there is a chance for Simeone's side to move closer to the summit.
The Red and Whites have been victorious in each of their last five games in La Liga, including a 3-0 success away to Celta Vigo last weekend, with the team in excellent form since their shock 3-0 loss at Valencia.
