GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Atletico Madrid 2 (28 mins - Angel Correa) Real Sociedad 0. A second goal! Atletico Madrid have a two-goal cushion and it's Correa who has found the bottom corner of the net! Suarez played the ball through and Correa showed great composure to tuck the finish past Remiro!

The omens are good for Atletico Madrid this evening. They have kept a clean sheet in their last three league matches at home. It’s at the other end of the pitch where they have had issues.

Lemar is missing for Atletico Madrid this evening. He was withdrawn in the first half of the game against Barcelona with an injury, which is a shame because he was playing well.

The title race at the top of La Liga has been the compelling Spanish football has seen in a generation, but the vulnerabilities of all three teams involved is what has made it so unpredictable.

Simeone will need a more dynamic performance from his team this evening, and it looks like they are delivering. Only three points will do for Atletico Madrid otherwise Real Madrid, who play tomorrow, could leapfrog them.

Atletico Madrid come into this match on the back of a goalless draw against Barcelona at the Camp Nou. While Simeone’s side didn’t play that well, they did just enough to keep edging towards the title.

Chance for La Real! Zaldua did well to get down the right side, he picked out a teammate in the middle, but Barrenetxea scuffs his effort and it's straight at Oblak!

17'

It was Carrasco who put the ball in the back of the net, but make sure you see the pass from Llorente! What a ball! He is so important to Atletico Madrid. He makes them tick as a team!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Atletico Madrid 1 (16 mins - Yannick Carrasco) Real Sociedad 0. A huge goal for Atletico Madrid! It's Carrasco! The Belgian controlled a diagonal pass to the back post and squeezed a shot underneath Remiro into the back of the net! Carrasco has been in excellent form for Atleti!

Barcelona twice allowed a lead to slip against Levante last night, eventually drawing 3-3. An Atletico Madrid win here would effectively end the Catalans’ hopes of winning the title.

What a start to this match by Atletico Madrid! They have yet to find the opening goal, but it is surely coming? The hosts are all over Real Sociedad in these early exchanges!

11'

LLORENTE DENIED! Oh what a chance! Llorente gets in behind the Real Sociedad defence, he was one-on-one with Remiro, but the Real Sociedad goalkeeper makes the save!

10'

Suarez just wide! Llorente wins a freekick right on the edge of the Real Sociedad penalty box, but Suarez could only guide his effort just wide of the post! Not far away!

SUAREZ... over! A golden opportunity for Atletico Madrid to take the lead in the opening 10 minutes, but Suarez fires over the bar after Llorente broke down the right side and squared for him!

Handball? Suarez makes the case that Remiro handled the ball just outside his penalty box and the Atletico Madrid striker has a strong argument! The goalkeeper got away with one!

Real Sociedad have made a decent start to the match here. The visitors look very comfortable on the ball, with Atletico Madrid pressing high on their opponents early on.
