With constant reports of behind the scenes drama at the Nou Camp, Barca boss Ronald Koeman looks like a dead man walking, with the Dutchman's time at the club placed further in doubt following his side's damaging 3-0 defeat to Benfica which leaves them bottom of their Champions League group.
A win here could at least make the picture look somewhat rosier on the domestic front, with a victory potentially moving Koeman's side up to third in the La Liga table.
The hosts come into the match off the back of a much more impressive midweek European adventure, with Atletico coming from behind to beat Italian giants AC Milan at the San Siro on Tuesday night.
A win here could see Diego Simeone's side usurp local rivals Real Madrid at the top of the table, but the home side will be mindful of their last La Liga outing which saw them slump to a shock defeat to struggling Alaves, who had previously lost every league game this season.
It's a huge game for both sides, so read on for how to watch a Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona live stream right now.
