Welcome to our LIVE coverage of this big clash between Valencia and Atletico, perennial Champions League chasers but looking over their shoulders at the likes of Getafe and Malaga.

Falcao has a chance to geton the scoresheet before Miguel shows great composure to cut across him and steal the ball.

Valencia have a free-kick and take it quickly, but too quickly. Two white shirts were clearly offside.

Valencia defend the corner robustly and the danger subsides.

Reyes fires the ball over to the far post and Dominguez's ball back across goal is blocked for a corner.

Atletico have a free-kick in dangerous territory. Reyes wil be a danger with his delivery here...

Great work from Tiago who lifts the ball over the top of the defence to Adrian. The Spain U21 striker connects well but Guaita is off his line quickly to spread himself and make the block. The ball rebounds right into Falcao's face and then away to safety.

Nifty little drop of the shoulder from Tino Costa and he drifts into the centre to have a pop from 20 yards out or so, but it's an easy stop for Courtois.

GREAT CHANCE FOR SOLDADO! Valencia break at speed and Pablo surges down the right. He sees Soldado call for the ball at the far post and puts in a cross that the striker frires way over the bar on the volley! Soldado connected well but struck it far too hard!

Valencia travel to Belgium to face genk int he Champions League on Tuesday, while Atletico host Celtic on Thursday in the Europa League.

When these two terams met at the Mestalla last season, Artiz Aduriz struck late to cancel out Simao Sabrosa's opener and seal a 1-1 draw. Simao has since left for Turkey and Aduriz is only on the Valencia bench tonight.

Soldado taps a weighted pass into Tino Costa's path and he finishes past Courtois! The linesman's flag is up for offside against Costa, but replays show he was level when Soldado made the pass. Very unfortunate.

SHOULD HAVE BEEN A GOAL! Great run down the right by Miguel and a wicked low cross but no-one was able to convert! Just behind Soldado, who thought he was held by Dominguez.

Good save from the on-loan Chelsea keeper Courtois as Soldado raced behind the defence, the Belgian closing the gap and making himself big. Corner.

Mathieu goes on a surging run, really good play from him to get from left-back to the box but he smashes the finish well wide. Only scored once last season and it shows.

A high ball into the Valencia box causes confusion a Guaita fails to come, eventually Falcao fouls Rami and Valencia have a free-kick.

Piatti appears to be caught by Suarez but play on says the ref.

Soldado flicks on the corner but Atletico clear easily enough.

Soldado has a pop from range and it takes a touch off an Atletico defender, wide for a corner.

Suarez hooks it forward and Falcao is in but a good tackle from Mathieu, allowing Guaita and Ruiz to close it off.

Cagey start as the two teams size each other up...

FACT: Valencia have only won one of their last five league meetings with Atletico.
