MADRID, March 3 (Xinhua) -- FC Barcelona entertain Atletico Madrid in the Camp Nou stadium on Sunday afternoon in a game which could go a long way towards determining the destination of this season's Liga Santander title.

Barcelona go into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw away to Las Palmas which saw their lead at the top of the table cut to just five points, while Atletico Madrid defeated Leganes 4-0 thanks to four goals from Antoine Griezmann.

Griezmann will be the main threat to Barca on Sunday with the French striker hitting his best form of the season netting seven goals in his last two appearances as his partnership with Diego Costa is beginning to flourish.

Meanwhile Luis Suarez will be available for Barcelona after avoiding a yellow card in Las Palmas which would have seen him suspended for the game. Suarez will partner Leo Messi in attack, while Jordi Alba is back in the side after missing out in midweek through suspension.

Although much of the attention will be played on the strikers, part of the secret of the two sides' success is down to their defenses, with Atletico conceding just 11 goals all season, while Barca have had just 13 scored against them.

There appear to be few doubts in the Atletico starting 11 with Thomas Partey earning a place alongside Gabi Fernandez in central midfield, while Barca will field their strongest starting 11 with the only doubt being whether Phillipe Coutinho, Ousman Dembele or Paulinho completes a midfield containing Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets and Ivan Rakitic.

Atletico have an extra day to recover following the midweek game and in such a tightly balanced match that could be decisive, but so could Messi, Griezmann, Costa or Suarez in what promises to be 90 minutes of tension in Barcelona.
