Team News

Atletico
Las Palmas
  • Against Sevilla Alvaro Morata picked up a rather nasty knee ligament injury and could be out for the rest of the season depending on his final medical evaluation. Memphis Depay, who turned 30 this week, will replace him.
  • Saul Niguez returns from suspension and is available again.
  • There shouldn't be much change to the Atleti eleven, despite the Sevilla loss as Simeone was keen to highlight the alleged officiating incompetencies in that match.
  • Alex Suarez could keep his place in the side after scoring last week against Valencia. He has just signed a new contract with the club that will see him at Las Palmas until 2026.
  • Las Palmas have no fresh injuries to report from the last game.
  • Alberto Moleiro started on the bench last week and could be the fresher pick on the left-side instead of Munir this weekend.

Prediction

  • Atletico Madrid welcome Las Palmas to the Civitas Metropolitano on Saturday afternoon, hoping they can earn their first win of February to save some face after a disappointing month so far. Simeone's men are 13 points off the top of La Liga, with Athletic Club in fifth breathing down their necks. If Bilbao had not played a disappointing draw with Almeria, they would have leapfrogged Atleti on goal difference.
  • Las Palmas are only three points off the Europa League qualification spots, of which they have never reached before. The last time the club saw European action was in 1978 when they were beaten on aggregate in the last 16 by Ipswich Town.
  • Last time out, Las Palmas defeated Atleti 2-1 at home in a fearless display. The home side may have to surrender more control than they would like to this weekend.
