Atlético visit a Levante that always complicates their life and does so with the pitchfork ready to repeat at the top. João Félix, Griezmann and Suárez started the game for the first time in the rojiblanca forward against Real Sociedad and Simeone apparently will repeat with them, although with the clear mission of improving in the defensive section.

The rojiblanco team is suffering a lot with each arrival of the rival, with Oblak more insecure and the rear failing badly, with five goals against in the last two games despite playing for Wanda Metropolitano. To close the tap Giménez returns to eleven, which would form a defensive line with Trippier, Felipe y Hermoso y el Cholo has Savic already recovered from his physical problems. One of the main doubts about the rehearsals of the week is that of Hermoso’s position, which could form in a line of three centrals, but which apparently will start as a left back, leaving Carrasco a more interior position like the one that Lemar has been exploiting. The Belgian is another of the novelties in the eleven compared to the last game.
Atlético’s casualties are concentrated in the center of the field, without Lemar himself, Kondogbia, who suffers groin trauma, and Marcos Llorente. The big news in the engine room could be Héctor Herrera, who would replace Rodrigo de Paul. The rojiblanco team has not achieved victory in the last two duels despite Griezmann’s doublets against Liverpool and Suárez against Real Sociedad. In both games he started losing 0-2 and had to row to try to get a positive result.
Thus, Simeone could opt for this tenth day of the League for an eleven formed by: Oblak; Trippier, Felipe, Giménez, Hermoso; Herrera, Koke, Carrasco; Griezmann, Luis Suárez and João Félix.
