Xavi's side were held to a 1-1 draw by Espanyol in the league last weekend, although they are currently top of the table, albeit level on points (38) with reigning champions Real Madrid.
The Catalan outfit survived a midweek scare in the Copa del Rey, meanwhile, running out 4-3 winners over Intercity after extra-time to advance to the last-16 stage of the competition.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Atletico, who are currently fourth in Spain's top flight.
Barcelona have no injury concerns heading into the clash in the Spanish capital.
BARCELONA'S SUSPENSION LIST
Jordi Alba
Status: Out
Possible return date: January 11 (vs. Real Betis)
Barcelona will be without the services of Jordi Alba this weekend, as the experienced left-back is suspended following his red card in the 1-1 draw with Espanyol last time out in the league.
Robert Lewandowski
Status: Out
Possible return date: January 11 (vs. Real Betis)
Barcelona have been unsuccessful in overturning Robert Lewandowski's three-match league suspension, so he will now miss the upcoming games with Atletico, Getafe and Girona.
