"Camp Nou stages one of La Liga's showcase fixtures on Tuesday as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid meet with the title race already tightening near the top. Barcelona sit first after 14 rounds, though the early part of their season has lacked some of last year's rhythm. Atletico trail by three points in fourth, but arrive with momentum after a strong run of results and belief that they can insert themselves into the fight for the trophy."
"Diego Simeone now stands level with Miguel Munoz on 323 La Liga wins as a manager, and could move into second place outright if his side take the points at Camp Nou. Barcelona remain without Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Gavi, while Fermin Lopez is still unavailable with a calf issue. Ronald Araujo missed the win over Alaves due to illness and is unlikely to recover in time."
