Atletico Madrid lock horns with Espanyol in La Liga on Sunday at the Wanda Metropolitano. After being knocked out of European competition, Diego Simeone's side can turn their complete focus to La Liga. Indeed, a fixture against 16th-placed Espanyol represents an ideal opportunity for Atleti to bonce back. They have 23 points from 12 matches and are nine adrift of league leaders Real Madrid.
Espanyol, meanwhile, are still struggling to find their best form in La Liga. They have won just once in their last five outings and are in desperate need of points. They have let in 20 goals in 12 matches and the likes of Antoine Griezmann and Alvaro Morata will likely be licking their lips at the prospect of facing them.
