Atletico Madrid have won their last five games in all competitions as they take one Celta Vigo at Balaidos in La Liga on Saturday.
Diego Simeone's men will be aiming to stay put in the top four of the Spanish top flight. Their last league outing ended in a 2-1 victory over Real Sociedad thanks to Antoine Griezmann converting a late penalty.
On the other hand, Celta have just six points from their opening nine games and will want to move out from the drop zone. They come into the tie on the back of a 2-2 draw with Getafe.
