Atletico Madrid will be aiming to return to winning ways in Spain's top flight when they welcome Villarreal to Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday evening.
Diego Simeone's side, who are fourth in the La Liga table, suffered a 2-1 defeat to Las Palmas last Friday, while 13th-placed Villarreal were beaten 3-2 by Athletic Bilbao in their last league affair.
Simeone's team have still made a strong start to the campaign, though, picking up 25 points from their opening 11 matches, which has left them six points off leaders Girona, crucially with a game in hand.
The Red and Whites were back to winning ways in the Champions League on Tuesday evening, recording a thumping 6-0 win over Celtic, with Antoine Griezmann and Alvaro Morata both scoring twice in what was an outstanding performance from the home side at Wanda Metropolitano.
Atletico are now top of Group E on eight points, two points ahead of third-placed Feyenoord, with the capital outfit in a strong position to advance to the knockout round of the competition.
