Atletico Madrid (4th, 45 pts)

- Los Rojiblancos head into this encounter riding a three-game winning run in LaLiga Santander and fresh off triumphing 4-2 away to Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of their Champions League round-of-16 tie.

- This will be Diego Simeone's 300th fixture in charge of Atletico in all competitions and the Argentine will be hoping to mark the occasion in style.

Barcelona (3rd, 51 pts)

- Just like their opponents this matchday, Luis Enrique's men have also strung together three league wins on the spin. Another victory at the Calderon would be enough to overhaul Real Madrid at the top of the table, at least provisionally, and strengthen Barça's position in the title race.

- Luis Suarez has scored five goals in his last six meetings with Atletico in all competitions.
