Atletico Madrid will aim to continue their sublime form as they host a high-flying Valencia side in a crucial La Liga match for both sides.
Atletico Madrid entered the semi-final of the Copa del Rey with a narrow 1-0 victory against Sevilla on the back of a goal from Dutch forward Memphis Depay. Simeone's men will now be vying to turn their cup form to the league as they host Valencia on Sunday.
Valencia, on the other hand, are on a winning streak of four games despite their early struggles in the season. They'll be looking to continue this scintillating form and derail Atletico's hopes of winning the match.
