Espanyol vs Atletico Madrid: Diego Simeone's Best Available Rojiblancos Lineup

Second-placed Atletico Madrid visit Espanyol on Saturday afternoon knowing anything other than defeat will confirm their position as runners-up in La Liga this season.

With Barcelona securing the title last weekend, all Atletico have to play for is the chance to finish above their cross-city rivals, Real Madrid, for the second season in succession.

Atleti are nine points ahead of Real with just three games to go and appear certain to retain their place in the table, with Simeone's side also having a better goal difference than Los Blancos.

They will want to confirm it with victory on Saturday, however, and here is how Atletico could line up at the RCDE Stadium.
