Match Facts:
RCD Espanyol (9th, 49 pts):
-The home side are aiming to extend an impressive sequence of results at the RCDE Stadium, where they have racked up four straight wins in LaLiga Santander. If they emerge victorious against Atletico, it would take the tally up to five for the first time since February 2013.
-Espanyol coach Quique Sanchez Flores has no previous experience of losing against Atletico in LaLiga Santander, having picked up two wins and five draws from seven encounters against Los Rojiblancos.
Atletico Madrid (3rd, 65 pts):
-Diego Simeone's troops are unbeaten in their last eight LaLiga Santander games (W6 D2). Avoiding defeat away to Espanyol would make it the club's best run so far this season.
-Antoine Griezmann has scored 99 goals in LaLiga Santander and could become only the second Frenchman to reach a century in the competition, following in the footsteps of Karim Benzema (120).
