Line-ups: Atletico-Galatasaray

Antoine Griezmann and Fernando Torres start in attack as Atletico Madrid host Galatasaray looking for at least point to progress in the Champions League.

A draw will do for Los Colchoneros but Diego Simeone said his side will try for all three, and he names Griezmann, Torres and Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco from the start with that in mind.

Jan Oblak is in goal with Jesus Gamez filling in for Juanfran at right-back, Diego Godin and Jose Gimenez in the centre and Filipe Luis getting the nod on the left.

Captain Gabi, Tiago Mendes and Koke are in midfield with Carrasco, and Griezmann is in support of Torres, though it could be more of a 4-3-3 formation with Carrasco and Griezmann either side of El Nino.

Gala name former Real Madrid man Wesley Sneijder and ex-Arsenal forward Lukas Podolski, and have a new Coach in Mustafa Denizli, who took the Istanbul club to success in the late 1980s and early 1990s, but Claudio Taffarel, the interim trainer, is also still on the scene.
