(Football news) Real Madrid and Barcelona both had disappointing draws and will be looking to get back to winning ways.

Atlético Madrid take on Villareal in Wanda Metropolitano in what could be a tricky fixture for the defending champions. After narrowly winning the last two matches Diego Simone would be hoping that they assert their dominance over the ‘yellow submarine’. The major positive has been the form of Angel Correra as he has scored all three goals for Atletico this season and will be looking to continue rich goal scoring form. Diego Simone would be hoping that a quick solution is reached over the transfer situation of Saul Niguez as it may hamper the team's preparation heading into the match against Villareal.

Barcelona take on Getafe in their third match of the season, Ronald Koeman would be hoping for a quick change of fortune after suffering a disappointing draw against Athletic Club. Barcelona are still finding their feet without Messi as players like Depay and Pedri are doing their best to fill in that massive void. Koeman will welcome back Ansu Fati back to training after a lengthy injury lay off for him, although he won't be fit for the Getafe game he’ll most likely feature after the international break.
