35'
It looked like Atletico Madrid might blow away Valencia in the opening 10-15 minutes, but the away side have found a foothold in this game and they are now starting to venture up field.
34'
Mina shot on goal! Just for a moment it looked like the Valencia forward had freed up the space for a real effort on goal, but he didn't catch his shot right and the clearance is made. That was tame from Mina.
33'
32'
That seemed harsh. Juanfran appeared to win the ball in the tackle on Gameiro, but the referee saw it differently and awards Valencia the soft freekick in the Atletico Madrid half.
31'
Valencia have been in exceptional form of late. They have made a late run for a top four place, winning their last four matches leading up to this game. They can't be counted out.
30'
Rodri has been exceptional for Atletico Madrid this season and is currently the subject of strong speculation linking him with a move to Manchester City this summer. Will he leave for England?
29'
28'
Nice footwork in the centre of the pitch from Parejo. If Valencia are going to take something from this match they will need their creator-in-chief to find top form this evening.
27'
Atletico Madrid are potentially weak at the back given the number of injuries they are carrying back there, but Valencia haven't yet been able to expose those weakness in the opening half hour.
25'
There are huge swathes of empty seats at the Wanda Metropolitano this evening. It seems that the Atletico Madrid supporters haven't been enthused by this mid-week fixture.
24'
23'
Lemar has started this match very well. The Frenchman hasn't quite had the desired effect since joining Atletico Madrid from Monaco last summer, but he is playing well this evening.
22'
Soler is shown the first yellow card of the match for a pretty late and nasty challenge.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... NO! Morata thinks that he has grabbed a second goal, nicking the ball off Neto and curling a finish back over his head. But he was offside earlier in the move.

PICTURE: Morata has made a real impact at Atletico Madrid.

One wonders how Simeone will reflect on this season. Atletico Madrid had the opportunity to make it a real title race and go far in the Champions League and yet they spurned that chance.
16'
This was Morata's opener, ICYMI...
14'
Simeone is getting drenched out on the touchline, but he must be pleased with what he is seeing from his team out there at the moment. Valencia have yet to gain a foothold in the game.
13'
It really looks like Barcelona are going to have to wait until the weekend's game against Levante to be crowned Liga champions. Atletico Madrid have started on fire and are well on top.
12'
Another chance for Morata! The on loan Chelsea striker really should have doubled his tally. He cut inside off the wing and got a shot away on goal, but Morata didn't quite catch the effort properly.
