Team news
Real Betis were without the services of Claudio Bravo, William Carvalho and Nabil Fekir for their opening match of the season, and all three players will again miss out through injury.
Willian Jose’s goal off the bench at Villarreal might have earned him a start here, while Isco is also set to feature in the starting side against Atletico.
There is uncertainty when it comes to the involvement of Guido Rodriguez, though, as the midfielder is currently being heavily linked with a move to French giants Lyon.
Luiz Felipe is also being linked with a switch to Nottingham Forest, but he is expected to start here.
Atletico, meanwhile, will be missing Jose Gimenez, Nahuel Molina and Reinildo through injury for the contest with Real Betis.
Koke is also set to miss out with the issue that he suffered in the early stages of the clash with Granada, which should lead to Pablo Barrios featuring in midfield.
Memphis has put himself in contention to start with his goal off the bench against Granada, but Morata also registered in the same match and should have done enough to keep his spot in attack alongside Antoine Griezmann.
