Your support makes all the difference.Atletico Madrid head to their bogey ground at Leganes, somewhere they haven't won for three years running, as they look to earn a second win of the La Liga season.
Under Mauricio Pellegrino, Leganes are a team who like to defend sturdily and don't afford opponents like Atletico space to break.
Diego Simeone is set to stick with his new-look team which includes former Tottenham defender Kieran Trippier, as well as the potent strike pairing of Joao Felix and Alvaro Morata. Follow it live:
Prediction?
Leganes 0-3 Atletico Madrid. This new-look Atletico side look well-drilled with touches or real quality and they will be too good today.
What time does it start?
The match kicks off at 6pm BST (5pm local time).

Close! Koke makes a late run into the box and pulls the ball back into the middle towards Morata. It's hacked away on the line before the former Chelsea man can prod home.

Leganes are finding their feet a little after a nervy start. They look more compact, more competitive in midfield. But they've done nothing to trouble Atletico's defence in the opening stages.

Roque Mesa - roughly translated as Rocky Table - is a key man in midfield for Leganes. The former Swansea man's ability to dictate the game should mean they are more of a creative force this season. The hosts have had just 30% of the ball so far this evening, though.

Eraso is the first player to go into the book for a late challenge.

An incisive Atletico move almost ends in a tap in for Morata. Koke spots the run of Trippier down the right flank and picks him out with an inch-perfect pass. The ex-Tottenham right back sends the ball across goal but it's turned behind for a corner.

Leganes have been forced to make an early substitution: Rodrigo Tarin has picked up an injury so he makes way for Unai Bustinza.

And now we'll have a stoppage for a cooling break. It's hot in Madrid.

A nice, free-flowing move from the home side ends with a low shot towards the near post by En-Nesyri, which Oblak saves. It wouldn't have counted anyway, though, as the flag goes up for offside.

Moments earlier, Morata had another chance to open the scoring, latching onto a long ball and attempting to dink it over the head of the onrushing Soriano. The Leganes goalkeeper did enough to keep it out, though.
