Los Colchoneros are seen by many as the biggest threat for Barcelona this season. Will they honor that reputation against Getafe?

What is Atlético Madrid and Celta's form's form ahead of this match?

Atlético had an impressive pre-season, which cemented their hopes for success in the 2019-20 La Liga campaign. Simeone's men enter this match on a four-game winning streak, including a 2-1 victory against Juventus in their last friendly.

Getafe drew three of their six recent friendlies, but the good news for José Bordalás is that his defensive unit has not conceded more than one goal during those games, which included three clean sheets. The team's last friendly concluded in a 4-1 win against Atalanta, which gives them hope for success ahead of a tough 2019-20 campaign.

Atlético Madrid vs Getafe - Who's in and who's out

Atlético Madrid will have three absences for this game: Angel Correa, Diego Costa and Sime Vrsaljko. Correa and Costa have pending bans from last season, but in Costa's case, he is also carrying an injury that might see him miss all of this month's games. The rest of Atlético's star-studded cast is fit to play, including new signings Marcos Llorente, Joao Félix, Renan Lodi, Kieran Trippier and Mario Hermoso, to name some of them.

Getafe's coach, José Bordalás, will see his side fight for the first three points without three players as well. Amath Ndiayé and Vitorino Antunes have been ruled out for this game, while there is a glimmer of hope in Francisco Portillo's case, as he will be assessed before the match to determine his availability. Los Azulones added Marc Cucurella on loan from Barcelona, who could represent a fine addition for the team's midfield.

Atlético Madrid vs Getafe - Pre-match talk

Joao Felix's La Liga debut is a highly anticipated happening that will surely take place on Sunday. All week long, fans and experts have been asking themselves if coach Diego Simeone will take Felix's development step by step, but it seems that El Cholo is ready to place the burden of command on his young star's shoulders.

"He is always open to suggestions, and he's learning to work for the team. He has a massive talent, and he will show it once he settles in. I'm not worried about piling up the pressure on him, he's an important player and we are sure that we can get the most out of him for the benefit of the team."
