Barcelona have a tough test to keep hold of their top spot in the La Liga table as they travel to the Spanish capital to take on an in-form Atletico Madrid.

The Spanish international has carried over his good World Cup form back with him to Atletico Madrid and is primed for a big second-half run. Add in Barcelona's propensity to collapse after the break, there's plenty of meat on this bone. Even when not scoring, Morata does his best to find the back of the net, ripping off five shots against CD Arenteiro in the Copa del Rey and putting four of them on target. Atletico Madrid, meanwhile, are in good form and have achieved results against Barcelona in the recent past. Most recently, they were scoreless at the break against Elche at home before a pair of second-half goals produced a 2-0 victory. From an attacking standpoint, Barcelona are a more evenly-weighted team between the first and second halves than most sides, but otherwise, everything points towards a second-half show. — FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) They won't get nearly that same volume of opportunities in this match, and without Lewandowski's presence, their goalscoring abilities will be reduced further. They have also not conceded a single goal with Lewandowski off the field this season. Barcelona are coming off a wild and nervy 4-3 win in the Copa del Rey over Intercity FC that required extra time to complete. Part of that will be down to the individual players available for selection. Still, a 2-0 victory over Elche in their league return from the World Cup break last weekend is a positive start towards a more consistent showing domestically.
