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).
Leganes 0-0 Atletico
39 minutes
Atletico have had the better of this first half, but it's all been a little bit one dimensional. Leganes have not been overly troubled since that early Morata chance.

Felix is bundled over close to the corner flag in Leganes' half but doesn't get a free kick. It's been a frustrating first half for the young Portuguese. Instead, the link up down the right between Trippier and Morata has been the most productive avenue of attack for Atletico.

There'll be two minutes of added time.
Half time: That's it for the first half! Leganes will be fairly happy with that. They ended it on the front foot, too, forcing a corner. And they've restricted their visitors to relatively few chances. Simeone will almost certainly demand more in the final third from his players after the break.
Leganes 0-0 Atletico
46 minutes
Leganes force an early corner, which Atletico deal with comfortably. Goal scoring was an issue for the hosts last season, and they haven't really threatened so far tonight.

Big chance for Atletico! Omeruo is dispossessed by Koke deep in his own half, and the midfielder picks out Felix in space in the box. The youngster hits a first time volley from close range, which flashes over the bar. Atletico should be in front.
Leganes 0-0 Atletico
52 minutes
Hermoso goes into the book for a cynical challenge on En-Nesyri just outside the Atletico box. Leganes will have a free kick in a shooting position.

Jonathan Silva takes the set piece and crashes a curling shot off the bar! Oblak gets a touch on it, so a corner is awarded. Atletico half clear but Leganes are building some pressure here.
