We're underway in this LaLiga clash.
The visitors press down the right flank and win a corner in the first minute.
Cadiz have been one of the surprise packages of the new season, sitting just behind Atletico in fifth place in the table. Alvaro Cervera's men have been excellent on the road, taking major scalps of Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid. They're unbeaten in their last five games and overcome Eibar 2-0 last time out on the road. They will be hungry for another statement game tonight.
Atletico have made a solid start to their campaign, taking 14 points from their opening six matches. Diego Simeone's men have won their last three games on the bounce in LaLiga, defeating Celta Vigo, Real Betis and Osasuna last time out. Los Rojiblancos can take a significant step forward in their bid to move to the top of the table with a win tonight fresh off their draw in the Champions League in midweek against Lokomotiv Moscow.
Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the LaLiga clash between Atletico Madrid and Cadiz at the Wanda Metropolitano.
ATLETICO MADRID (4-4-2): Jan Oblak; Kieran Trippier, Stefan Savic, Jose Gimenez, Mario Hermoso; Marcos Llorente, Hector Herrera, Saul Niguez, Koke; Joao Felix, Luis Suarez.
ATLETICO MADRID SUBS: Ivo Grbic, Manuel Sanchez, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Lucas Torreira, Angel Correa, Thomas Lemar, Renan Lodi, Ivan Saponjic, Felipe, Sergio Camello, Ricard Sanchez, German Varela.

Alvaro Cervera's men have not been able to get a foothold in the game. They've made two uncharacteristic mistakes at the back, which has left them chasing the contest. Unless they stage a dramatic improvement in the second half their five-match unbeaten run will be coming to an end.
Atletico Madrid return to action after the international break with a crunch clash against Barcelona on home soil on November 21. Cadiz are next in action in LaLiga against Real Sociedad on the road on November 22.
Thanks for joining our commentary this evening. Until next time, goodbye.
