Barcelona could trim the gap to Madrid to two points if they beat Girona on Sunday, while Atletico Madrid will attempt to bounce back from last weekend's defeat at Montjuic when they play bottom club Almeria.
Indalo's men start with the known absentees Milovanic, Luis Suarez, Kone and Marc Pubill. The main doubts are Melero and Embarba, who have trained out of the squad.
The Madrid side will travel to their home stadium with just three absentees: Vitolo, Lemar and Pablo Barrios.
Atletico Madrid possible lineup: Oblak (GK); Molina, Azpilicueta, Witsel, Hermoso, Lino; Llorente, Koke, De Paul; Griezmann and Morata.
Almeria possible lineup: Maximiano (GK); Pozo, Montes, Gonzalez, Akieme; Robertone, Melero; Baptistao, Arribas, Embarba; Ramazani.
