Valencia v Atletico Madrid live! - Antoine Griezmann gives away side priceless victory at Mestalla!

The Valencia fans lined the streets near the Mestalla to welcome in the team coach a little earlier.

Valencia have failed to win any of their last 15 meetings with Atletico Madrid in La Liga (D6, L9). The sides played out an entertaining 3-3 draw in the corresponding fixture last season.

Atletico Madrid have won just one of their last five La Liga matches played on a Monday (D3, L1).

Valencia, who currently sit in 14th place in La Liga, have three points from their opening two matches. Los Che suffered a close 1-0 loss to Athletic Bilbao last time out, which followed on from a 1-0 success over newly-promoted Girona on the opening matchday.

As for Atleti, it is a similar story. After easing to a comfortable 3-0 win away at Getafe in their opening match, Los Colchoneros suffered a 2-0 defeat at home to Villarreal last weekend - a game in which Diego Simeone's side failed to capitalise on some big chances. Nahuel Molina also received a late red card for violent conduct.

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone makes four changes from his side's defeat to Villarreal last time out, as Geoffrey Kondogbia and Rodrigo de Paul both start.

Atletico de Madrid: Oblak, Saul, Reinildo, Witsel, Gimenez, Llorente, Kondogbia, Koke (C), de Paul, Felix, Morata.

Subs: Grbic, Gomis, Felipe, Hermoso, Lemar, Carrasco, Griezmann, Cunha, Correa.

Valencia head coach Gennaro Gattuso has named his starting line-up for this evening's big game, and the Italian makes three changes from the 1-0 defeat his side suffered to Athletic Club last time out.

Valencia: Mamardashvili, Correia, Comert, Diakhaby, Lato, Guillamon, Musah, Soler (C), Castillejo, Lino, Andre.
