Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona: Predicted Rojiblancos XI for La Liga title showdown

Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone may make just the one change to his starting side for Sunday's La Liga clash with Barcelona.

The Red and Whites will enter the match off the back of a penalty-shootout loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League, with the team being knocked out in the last-16 stage of the competition.

Koke remains a doubt for this match due to a muscular problem, but Rodrigo De Paul is expected to overcome the knock that forced him off against Carlo Ancelotti's side in the European Cup.

Atletico will definitely be without the services of Angel Correa this weekend, meanwhile, as the attacker is suspended due to the red card that he was handed in the team's 2-1 loss to Getafe in the league last time out.

There might be just the one change from the side that took to the field for the first whistle against Real Madrid, with Nahuel Molina potentially coming in for Marcos Llorente at right-back.

Conor Gallagher was on the scoresheet against Real Madrid and is likely to keep his spot in a wide area, while Antoine Griezmann should continue alongside Julian Alvarez in the final third of the field.

Samuel Lino is an option to come into the side at left-back, while the same could also be said for Javi Galan, but it is expected that Reinildo will be given the nod in that area of the field due to his defensive qualities.

Atletico Madrid possible starting lineup: Oblak; Molina, Gimenez, Lenglet, Reinildo; Simeone, De Paul, Barrios, Gallagher; Griezmann, Alvarez
