Match Facts:

Deportivo (17th, 19 pts)

- The Galicians are gunning to turn the corner after a run of four successive defeats. Their last LaLiga Santander win was way back on 18 December, when they overcame fellow strugglers CA Osasuna 2-0.

- Pepe Mel will be taking charge of his first game after being appointed as Gaizka Garitano's replacement. The Madrilenian manager had the following words of praise for his new employers: "Deportivo are a fantastic family club, which is a precious quality."

Atletico (4th, 45 pts)

- Diego Simeone's side will be intent on making amends following their 2-1 loss at home to FC Barcelona, which came on the back of a four-game winning streak.

- Los Rojiblancos have only been beaten once in their last 16 LaLiga Santander meetings with Deportivo. That was when they succumbed 2-1 in A Coruña in 2009.
