Rayo Vallecano
Atletico
- Rayo had looked in control until goalkeeper Rubén Martínez made a hash of an attempted clearance, as they eventually fell 2-1 to Sevilla last time out.
- Tito is the only Rayo player to be ever present in the league this season but that record will now be broken after he picked up his 5th yellow. Without another recognised right-back in the squad, it will be a surprise whoever Paco Jémez opts for.
- In attacking areas, they will benefit from the return of Piti and Léo Baptistão who have weighed in with more than half the team's league goals, with a combined 16 strikes this campaign.
- The narrow victory over Real Betis was Atléti's 20th home win in a row, putting them nine points behind the league leaders.
- Radamel Falcao is back after his lay off, but it took a goal from the controversial Diego Costa to clinch the result, with the striker arriving as a substitute. The Brazilian is suspended for this game after picking up a further yellow card.
- Other Brazilians Filipe Luis and Miranda both appeared as second half substitutes in their country's 2-1 defeat to England at Wembley, Filipe Luis is back from suspension and should be fresh for the occasion.
