Atlético and Villarreal face off at the Metropolitano in a key match
Atlético de Madrid hosts Villarreal at the Metropolitano in a key match for both teams. Striker Alexander Sorloth is the main novelty in the Atlético squad after recovering from knee problems.
For his part, Marcelino García Toral hopes to maintain the defensive security shown in the last two games to have options in his visit to the Metropolitano. Diego Pablo Simeone will not be able to count on Lenglet and Galán after both had to serve a suspension for receiving their fifth yellow card in the match against Osasuna. Villarreal arrives with high morale after thrashing Mallorca at the beginning of the week and with a large part of its offensive artillery in great form.
