Atletico Madrid have decided to put their faith in lone striker Mario Mandzukic as they travel to face Elche in La Liga this afternoon.
The visitors are to feature a 4-4-3 formation, which sees both Raul Garcia and Arda Turan providing attacking support from wider positions, with Antoine Griezmann dropping to the bench.
The hosts have deployed a similar formation that sees Brazilian frontman Jonathas prepared to work with the creative qualities supplied by Victor Rodriguez and Coro.
Elche have also handed a start to on-loan Chelsea midfielder Mario Pasalic, as well as the highly-rated Faycal Fajr in midfield.
Elche: Tyton; Damian, Roco, Lomban, Cisma; Fajr, Mosquera, Pasalic; Victor, Coro, Jonathas
Atletico Madrid: Moya; Juanfran, Gimenez, Godin, Siqueira; Tiago, Gabi, Koke; Turan, Mandzukic, Garcia
