Atletico Madrid will welcome Real Sociedad to the Vicente Calderon on Tuesday, as the defending champions look for their second win in La Liga in the space of four days.On Saturday, Diego Simeone's side brushed past bottom-placed Cordoba with a minimum of fuss, as first-half goals from Antoine Griezmann and Saul Niguez effectively ended the contest prior to the break.
The three points were extremely valuable for Los Colchoneros, who moved back into third place on the table thanks to Valencia's scoreless draw with Villarreal at the Mestalla on Sunday. And with Los Che set for a difficult meeting with Athletic Bilbao at the San Mames in this midweek round, Atleti could potentially establish a small gap between themselves and Nuno Espirito Santo's side with another victory against Real Sociedad.
In teams news for the hosts, centre-back Miranda will again be available for selection, having completed his two-match ban for his red card against Espanyol. However, with another strong display at the Nuevo Arcangel, Jose Gimenez could easily retain his place alongside compatriot Diego Godin.
But Simeone will be forced into a slight reshuffle at the back regardless, with Juanfran suspended for this match after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season on Saturday.
After completing his comeback from injury against Cordoba, Saul is also likely to be rested rather than put through two successive games with minimal rest in between. If that does occur, Arda Turan will come back into the XI and take his place on the right side of the midfield.
