We're underway at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Simeone's men were able to put their disappointment from their loss to Barca behind them with a comfortable win over Lokomotiv Moscow during the week in the Europa League. They will be looking for a similar performance against Celta on home soil today.
Atletico's run of eight-straight wins was ended by Barcelona and Lionel Messi's brilliance last week. The result appears to have handed the crown to the Catalan club, but Diego Simeone's men will still aim to be top dogs in the capital. Real Madrid moved within four points of second place with their win over Eibar, putting pressure on their rivals to respond this afternoon.
Good afternoon and welcome to the live commentary of the LaLiga clash between Atletico Madrid and Celta Vigo at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Celta's inconsistent form may hinder their attempt to break into the top six. Juan Carlos Unzue's side have won just two of their last six matches, although one of those victories came last time out against Las Palmas. They will need a flawless effort to earn a positive result from their first visit to the Wanda Metropolitano.
The team news has been announced and we'll start with the home side.
ATLETICO (4-4-2): Jan Oblak; Sime Vrsaljko, Jose Gimenez, Diego Godin, Lucas Hernandez; Vitolo, Gabi, Saul Niguez, Koke; Diego Costa, Antoine Griezmann.
Atletico subs: Filipe Luis, Thomas Partey, Fernando Torres, Angel Correa, Juanfran, Kevin Gameiro, Axel Werner.
CELTA VIGO (4-3-3): Ruben Blanco; Hugo Mallo, Facundo Roncaglia, Sergi Gomez, Jonny; Pablo Hernandez, Stanislav Lobotka, Nemanja Radoja; Iago Aspas, Maxi Gomez, Emre Mor.
Celta Vigo subs: Sergio Alvarez, Lucas Boye, Pione Sisto, Robert Mazan, Jozabed Sanchez, Gustavo Cabral, Brais Mendez.
Atletico have made five changes from their win over Lokomotiv Moscow during the week. Oblak returns to action between the sticks, while Godin, Vrsaljko, Gabi and Vitolo come back into the fold.
Unzue names an unchanged side from Celta's win over Las Palmas last time out, with Aspas, Maxi Gomez and Mor continuing to lead a three-man attack.
STAT! Atletico Madrid have won their last five games against Celta de Vigo in La Liga, keeping a clean sheet on four occasions, their longest winning streak versus Celta in the top flight since 1952 (six).
STAT! Atletico’s unbeaten run of nine league games (W8 D1) and scoring at least one goal in every game ended last time out after their defeat to Barcelona.
HALF-TIME: ATLETICO MADRID 1-0 CELTA VIGO
Atletico Madrid take a narrow lead into the break striking just before the interval. There was little between the two teams in the first half, but Antoine Griezmann broke the deadlock as he held his composure from close range to bury an effort past Ruben Blanco. Celta Vigo had been solid at the back for 43 minutes before the Frenchman was able to make the breakthrough. Iago Aspas had the visitors' best opening of the first half, only to blaze wide of the targer. They will need more from him in the second period to get back into the match.
FULL-TIME: ATLETICO MADRID 3-0 CELTA VIGO
Atletico get back to winning ways in LaLiga with a comfortable 3-0 win over Celta Vigo this afternoon. Antoine Griezmann broke the deadlock in the first half with a skillful finish after a subdued opening 45 minutes. The visitors could have equalised through Nemanja Radoja, but he struck the post from close range. One minute later Vitolo double the home side's lead before Angel Correa notched the third to secure the victory.
