Team News: Fernando Torres starts alongside Mario Mandzukic for Atletico Madrid

Fernando Torres has been named alongside Mario Mandzukic in attack for Atletico Madrid's meeting with Celta Vigo in La Liga.

Atletico boss Diego Simeone has often played one or the other in recent weeks, but the two will form a partnership with support from the in-form Antoine Griezmann and Saul Niguez.

However, the champions are without Koke in midfield as they look to close the gap on Barcelona and leaders Real Madrid at the top of the table.

Borja Oubina and Hugo Mallo are both absent for the hosts, while Theo Bongonda is forced to settle for a spot on the bench.

Joaquin Larrivey leads the Celta attack with support from Nolito as they look to extend their unbeaten run to three games.

Celta: Sergio, S.Gómez, Cabral, Fontàs, Jonny, Radoja, Augusto, Krohn-Dehli, Orellana, Nolito, Larrivey

Atletico: Moya; Juanfran, Godín, Miranda, Siqueira; Gabi, Tiago, Saúl, Griezmann; Torres, Mandzukic
