How to watch today's Atletico Madrid vs Villarreal La Liga game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Atletico Madrid welcome Villarreal to the Metropolitano on Sunday in a La Liga contest that could set the tone for both clubs’ early-season campaigns. 

The Yellow Submarine have hit the ground running and sit comfortably in third, while Atletico are still hunting for their first three points after a sluggish start.

Diego Simeone's side have stumbled out of the gates, failing to win any of their opening three league outings. Back-to-back draws have left them hovering just above the drop zone, an unusual sight for a club of their stature.  

Villarreal, on the other hand, have carried over their momentum from last season, picking up two wins and a draw from their first three fixtures. Their stalemate with Celta Vigo last weekend slowed their charge slightly, but victory in Madrid could send them top of the table, at least temporarily.

Atletico Madrid takes on Villarreal in what is sure to be a tense La Liga showdown.
