Having both come up trumps in their midweek Champions League contests, Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad turn their attention back to domestic action on Sunday for a La Liga cracker at Civitas Metropolitano.
The Rojiblancos came from behind to beat reigning Dutch champions Feyenoord 3-2 in the Champions League in midweek, which followed another dramatic 3-2 comeback win at home to Cadiz in La Liga.
Diego Simeone's side are currently enjoying a four-game winning run across all competitions, and are currently fourth in the table, boasting 16 points from their opening seven league matches.
Real Sociedad, meanwhile, sit one position and one point behind their next opponents in this game. They managed an impressive 2-0 win over Austrian giants RB Salzburg in midweek, and have won the past three La Liga matches in a row, including the 3-0 hammering of Athletic Club in the Basque derby last weekend.
