Diego Simeone is yet to taste victory against the Catalan giants in the league during his seven-year reign at Atletico, but his side are currently just a point behind Ernesto Valverde’s team.
Both sides were involved in thrillers before the international break, with Diego Godin’s injury-time header securing a 3-2 victory for Los Rojiblancos over Athletic Bilbao, while Sergio Canales’ strike seven minutes from time saw Real Betis claim a 4-3 win at the Camp Nou.

Player to watch…
Antoine Griezmann: The Frenchman will face Barcelona for the first time since turning down a move to the Nou Camp in the summer after admitting he did not want to be in the shadow of Lionel Messi. He has however been a shadow of the player he was last season with just three goals in 12 league game. Nevertheless, he has produced talismanic performances when his side have needed them most, namely in the 2-0 win against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, and Simeone will hope for similar against the Catalans.

Prediction...
Atletico Madrid 1-1 Barcelona: Always a closely contested affair and this one won't be any different.
35 min: PSG 1-0 Toulouse
Toulouse are really struggling to hold on to the ball when they win it deep in their own half and they are easily getting penned in by the hosts.
Very difficult at this stage to see how Toulouse are going to avoid a fifth defeat in six matches.
40 min: PSG 1-0 Toulouse
That's better from the visitors, who create a half-chance. Former Bournemouth man Max Gradel connects with a clipped cross from the right with an overhead kick but it poses no danger to Gianluigi Buffon's goal.
The Italian is in action a minute later though, tipping Gradel's whipped effort over the bar.
43 min: PSG 1-0 Toulouse
Despite their dominance in possession, the hosts have only had two shots on target this half.
They've looked open at times at the back as well and that has given Toulouse some encouragement with Gradel at the heart of everything.
Not the greatest of first halves at the Parc des Princes.
Edinson Cavani's ninth-minute goal looked like it was going to make it a long day the office for Toulouse.
But after that Alain Casanova's side dug in and did not allow another shot on target for Thomas Tuchel's side.
There hasn't been too much to do for Buffon either, but Toulouse settled down as the half grew on.
Second half coming up in just under ten minutes.
Just five minutes till kick-off in Turin where Juventus will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the Serie A table to nine points.
However, the only time Juventus dropped points in the league this season was at the Allianz Stadium, when they drew 1-1 with Genoa.
1 min: Juventus 0-0 SPAL
We're underway at the Allianz Stadium. Will Juventus make it a flawless November in the league?
46 min: PSG 1-0 Juventus
We're also back underway in Paris. Is there an upset on the cards?
5 min: Juventus 0-0 SPAL
Positive start from the visitors, who are obviously looking to get down the flanks and cause the Juventus defence problems in wide areas.
50 min: PSG 1-0 Toulouse
Not much has changed in the opening five minutes of the second half.
Moussa Diaby has been a livewire so far but PSG have uncharacteristically been giving away a lot of ball in midfield.
