Match preview
Atletico picked up a much-needed three points against Sevilla last time out, running out 2-1 winners at Estadio Ramon, with Pablo Barrios scoring the game's deciding goal in the third minute of added time at the end of the 90.
The Red and Whites have seen their hopes of winning silverware this season fall apart in recent weeks, being knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid last month, before losing to Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.
Atletico's La Liga title hopes have also taken a huge hit, with the capital side currently third in the table, seven points behind the leaders Barcelona, so it is difficult to imagine them pulling themselves back into the title picture.
Simeone's side are safe when it comes to the top four, though, sitting 12 points ahead of fifth-placed Villarreal, while they are also six points clear of fourth-placed Athletic Bilbao.
