Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has made three changes to his side for this afternoon's La Liga meeting against Levante.

Fernando Torres drops to the bench, while Diego Godin and Raul Garcia are also left out for the trip to Estadi Ciutat de Valencia.

That means starting roles for Jose Gimenez, Arda Turan and Mario Mandzukic as Atletico look to pick up the point needed to secure their top-four place.

The visitors, who are still not clear of relegation heading into this clash, have made four changes to their starting lineup, with Nabil El Zhar and Jose Mari both missing out.

Simao and Victor Casadesus are suspended, so Victor Camarasa, Mohamed Sissoko, Kalu Uche and David Barral all come in.

Levante: Marino; Juanfran, Tono, Ramis, Vyntra, Ivan; Morales, Sissoko, Camarasa; Uche, Barral

Atletico: Oblak; Juanfran, Miranda, Gimenez, Siqueira; Tiago, Gabi, Koke; Turan, Mandzukic, Griezmann
