Team News

Real Sociedad
Atletico
  • Asier Illarramendi is expected to be injured until December after picking up a serious leg injury against Athletic Club last time out.
  • Igor Zubeldia is expected to step out of defence to anchor the midfield in his more natural position as a result.
  • Nacho Monreal joined from Arsenal on deadline day and could make his debut at centre-back for the hosts.
  • Thomas Partey has a minor muscle problem and could be absent in midfield, which could lead to a central midfield partnership of Marcos Llorente and Saul Niguez.
  • Alvaro Morata is still recovering from a sprained knee, which should see Diego Costa and Joao Felix lead the line for the visitors.
  • Stefan Savic is expected to be fit enough to displace Mario Hermoso at centre-back for Diego Simeone's side.

Prediction

  • Real Sociedad will be keen to get back to winning ways after a disappointing performance against Athletic Club last time out in which Imanol Alguacil's side were second-best in every department.
  • The hosts are chasing their first home win of the campaign this weekend after opening up the season with three away games to ensure that Anoeta is properly prepared.
  • Atletico Madrid are sitting top of the pile after maintaining a perfect record at the start of LaLiga's new campaign.
