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?

Vitolo is the next man in the book for reacting angrily at the decision not to award Atletico a throw-in.

Those expecting to see a wildly different approach to games from Simeone this season may be disappointed. His philosophy, away from home at least, appears to be exactly the same. Atletico have everyone back in their own half and are content with a 1-0 victory.

Leganes are rapidly running out of time and don't really look like finding a way through. Atletico make a final change: Lemar is off, replaced by Felipe Monteiro.

Both En-Nesyri and Koke pick up yellow cards. It's been a bitty, scrappy affair for the most part. Not one for the purist.

We're into the second of four minutes of added time.

A long, hopeful ball into the box is headed behind for a corner by Giminez. One last chance for Leganes...

And the corner is almost converted by an Atletico player! Oblak has to be alert to hold the ball.
Full time: That's it! Atletico leave Butarque with a narrow victory - their second 1-0 win in as many games - and move to the top of La Liga. Vitolo's goal is enough for the three points in the end.
It's been a typically functional start to the season from Simeone's team, but they will hope for more expansive performances in the weeks to come.
