Ousmane Dembele already has five La Liga goals this season.

He scored just one in the entirety of the last campaign.

Atleti have lost two and drawn one when conceding the first goal at home in the league this season.

Doesn't bode well then.

It should be two!

Jose Gimenez plays a blindpass and Pedri is on to it, but this time he hesitates and attempts to scoop a shot over Jan Oblak which the goalkeeper pushes away.

Nope, goal stands.

Barca do lead.

Atletico Madrid 0-1 Barcelona

VAR is having a look. A Gavi foul on Reinildo?

Antoine Griezmann's corner towards the near post causes a real scramble in the box with the ball bouncing around, but the visitors manage to get it clear.

But the hosts break for the first time and Marcos Llorente's cross is diverted away for a corner.

The match is being played exclusively in Atletico Madrid's half of the pitch.

Barca have had 67% possession so far.

Lovely footwork from Pedri, a real star in the making.

Barca are popping the ball around nicely, Atleti happy to sit back.

Barca threaten again, working the ball quickly and Ousmane Dembele is dispossessed in the box.

But the visitors recycle it and the space opens up for a shot for Ansu Fati from 12 yards out, but Jose Gimenez makes a superb last-ditch block to save a certain opener.

Whistles from the home fans are Barca gain a spell of possession.

Atleti sit back allowing centre-back Andreas Christensen to step forward and lacing a decent shot which is gathered by Jan Oblak.

Much better from Atleti.

The hosts fans come alive when youngest Pablo Barrios receives the ball 25 yards out, but a side-footed drive is straight into the grasp of Marc-Andre Ter Stegen.

Quick start from Barca.

Atletico give the ball away and Ansu Fati is onto in a flash inside the box, but a low shot is brilliantly blocked by Stefan Savic sliding in.

Jose Munuera is today's referee.

The Video Assistant Referee is Alejandro Hernandez Hernandez.

Such a good VAR they named him twice.

Under way at a very wet Metropolitano Stadium.

Joao Felix had a good World Cup and that is good news for Atletico Madrid, coming back to club with confidence, but is he going to leave or stay?

As a player, it is difficult to focus with rumours around and it is upto Atletico to make him the big star he wants to be.

It is so complex to analyse Barcelona, we think Atletico Madrid have a good chance tonight but they are 11 points behind them having scored 11 fewer goals.

Barca are not consistent, they had 22 shots on goal against Espanyol and did not take advantage, drawing 1-1.

Argentina's World Cup winner Nahuel Molina starts at right-back for Atletico Madrid, while Joao Felix, who has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United, starts up top alongside Antoine Griezmann.

Atletico XI: Oblak, Molina, Savic, Gimenez, Reinildo, Llorente, Koke, Barrios, Carrasco, Felix, Griezmann.

Barcelona are without suspended leading goalscorer Robert Lewandowski so Ansu Fati leads the line.

Barcelona XI: Ter Stegen, Kounde, Christensen, Araujo, Balde, Busquets, Pedri, De Jong, Gavi, Dembele, Fati.
