Atletico travel to the Estadio Mestalla to face Valencia.
The home side come off the back of a 3-1 loss to Getafe. In fact, Valencia are on a run of form that has not seen a win since 4 matches ago, away to Valldolid.
The visitors are also struggling to pick up a win, with 3 draws and 2 losses in their last 5 games.
Fitness worries will keep Albelda and Fernandes out the Valencia starting line-up. Vicente Rodriguez is expected to miss the match. Ruben Baraja is tipped for a return to action after recovering from a knee knock.
Atletico have a few injury worries to contend with. Raul Garcia, Camacho and Pernia are all sidelined while 3 players – Asenjo, Dominguez and Cabrera are missing with under-20 international duty.
Expect Aguero and Simao to get a starting berth with the players both fully fit again while former Arsenal star Reyes may get a look in.
