I agree, it's probably our toughest game of the season so far bearing in mind we played Chelsea and City at home. We don't have a great record against Atletico, they just seem tailor-made to soak up our play and counter. I suppose we are in much better form that the last time we played them however, so I think we'll give them more of a game this time. 1-1.
This fixture really gives me the arse ache!! They are worse than Chelsea under Mourinho for their antics. We need to show we’ve learned a lesson from last time and to play them off the park.
What is the team news? Stefan Savic is suspended while Matheus Cunha and Jose Gimenez are both set to miss out but, in more positive news for Atletico, Marcos Llorente may be in line to return.

However, Thiago Alcantara and Curtis Jones are both set to miss out, while Harvey Elliott continues his long recovery on the sidelines.
