Antoine Griezmann will partner Oliver and Luciano Vietto in the Atletico Madrid attack against Espanyol as they seek to extend their unbeaten run in La Liga.

Full-back Juanfran makes his first start for three weeks after overcoming a thigh problem, while Saul Niguez takes the place of the suspended Gabi.

Espanyol's Victor Sanchez is also ruled out through suspension, paving the way for Abraham Gonzalez to start in a packed midfield.

Felipe Caicedo will operate as a lone striker for the visitors.
