Atletico Madrid will be bidding to make it six straight wins in all competitions when they resume their La Liga campaign against Celta Vigo on Saturday night.
Diego Simeone's side are currently fourth in the La Liga table, five points behind the leaders Real Madrid with a game in hand, while Celta sit 18th, having picked up just six points from their first nine games.
The Sky Blues have only managed to win one of their opening nine league games of the season, with a total of six points leaving them in 18th position in the table, level on points with 19th-placed Granada.
Rafael Benitez's side are only three points behind 13th-placed Cadiz, so their position would look a lot healthier if they were able to triumph this weekend, but they are entering a tough run of fixtures, facing Girona, Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao in their three league games after this one.
Celta finished 13th in Spain's top flight last season, while they have been present in La Liga since earning promotion in 2011-12, so it would be a surprise to see them drop out of the league this term.
