Atlético de Madrid aim for fifth consecutive win against Alavés
Atlético de Madrid return to competition with four consecutive wins, although the game has not been the most spectacular. Simeone wants to extend the streak on the day he reaches 700 games in charge of the rojiblanco team.
South American players arrive with little time and many miles, so they are likely to stay on the bench. Nahuel Molina is injured and will have to go through the infirmary. Llorente and Azpilicueta return to the starting lineup after their injuries.
Koke and Barrios are essential in midfield. The forward line is expected to be occupied by Griezmann and Correa, who did not travel with the national team. Sorloth is the alternative to the Argentine. Gallagher, Julián Alvarez, Riquelme or Giuliano wait to modify the game from the bench.
