68'
Atletico are still throwing everything they have at the hosts, but their passing in the final third is letting them down. Torreira floats a cross into the far post from the left, but it's too high for Suarez and Martinez heads it out for a corner which comes to nothing.

55'
Carrasco plays a one-two with Saul down the left to open up the space for himself to cut into the box. He's ahead of Lekue and goes for goal despite the tight angle, but his effort is always curling away from the target.
52'

31'
Herrera spots Llorente making a driving run down the right and tries to switch play out to him. The forward gets caught on his heels though which gives Balenziaga chance to get back and intercept it.
29'

27'

17'
Trippier's corner is whipped into the middle of the box and Villalibre is there to meet it for Athletic, but he only half clears it to Carrasco on the edge of the box. He sets himself to hit it on the volley and swipes at it, firing his shot high and wide of the target.

2'

Villalibre gets the game underway for Athletic!
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the LaLiga meeting between Athletic Bilbao and Atletico Madrid at San Mames!
Atletico are looking to go five points clear at the top of LaLiga after Real Madrid's draw with Real Betis yesterday. They've lost just one of their last nine league games into today (W5 D3), but are unbeaten in their last three. Athletic are struggling for form at the moment and are winless in their last eight in all competitions, which includes two Copa del Rey final defeats, in a run that started with a 2-1 loss to Atletico in March.
ATHLETIC BILBAO STARTING XI (4-4-2): Unai Simon; Ander Capa, Unai Nunez, Inigo Martinez, Mikel Balenziaga; Alex Berenguer, Dani Garcia, Unai Vencedor, Jon Morcillo; Oihan Sancet, Asier Villalibre.
ATHLETIC BILBAO SUBS: Inaki Williams, Mikel Vesga, Jokin Ezkieta, Inigo Vicente, Raul Garcia, Oscar De Marcos, Unai Lopez, Ibai Gomez.
ATLETICO MADRID STARTING XI (4-4-2): Jan Oblak; Kieran Trippier, Stefan Savic, Felipe, Renan Lodi; Saul Niguez, Koke, Hector Herrera, Yannick Carrasco; Marcos Llorente, Angel Correa.
ATLETICO MADRID SUBS: Geoffrey Kondogbia, Mario Hermoso, Lucas Torreira, Joao Felix, Moussa Dembele, Sime Vrsaljko, Luis Suarez, Thomas Lemar, Vitolo, Ivo Grbic.
The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away.
Atletico know a win today could be a big step to winning the league, but they haven't caused Simon too many problems in Athletic's goal. As for the hosts, they drifted off after a bright start and both managers will want to see a big improvement from their sides after the break.
Atletico miss the chance to go five points clear at the top of LaLiga and are now just two points ahead of Barcelona and Real Madrid with only five games left. They're winless in four on the road which Simeone will be hoping to change when they travel to Elche next time out. Athletic end their eight-match winless run, with Real Valladolid next for them.
