Almeria
- Atletico's internationals have returned from duty with their countries unscathed, although Joao Miranda missed training on Thursday with a fever.
- If the Brazilian centre-back does not recover from the illness, new signing Toby Alderweireld could make his debut.
- It is no secret that Diego Simeone has a fixed starting 11 which he does not like to tinker with, but the Champions League game with Zenit St Petersburg on Wednesday may encourage him to rotate the odd player, or at least make some early substitutions if the game is going according to plan.
- Almeria have had the worst luck in the league so far, taking the lead in every game but still without a win.
- Left-back Sebastian Dubarbier is suspended after he was sent off against Elche.
