Match Facts:
D. Alaves (12th, 23 pts.)
- D. Alaves are enjoying themselves in the Copa del Rey, and are seeking to replicate their cup form in LaLiga Santander. Although Mauricio Pellegrino's side reached the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey this week, they are winless in three in the league.
- The Basque outfit are back on home turf at Mendizorroza, where only two teams have managed to come away with three points this season – Real Madrid and Espanyol.
Atletico Madrid (4th, 35 pts.)
- Diego Simeone's charges won't be letting their guard down. Despite coming away with just a point against Athletic Club at the San Mames last time out, the Colchoneros have recorded three victories in the last four matches.
- Good news for Atletico Madrid – they've got the old Antoine Griezmann back. The Frenchman has started this year on fire, and marked the game against Athletic last week with a fantastic goal from distance – one of the best strikes seen in LaLiga Santander last weekend.
