Diego Simeone says Atletico Madrid need goals from all areas of the pitch if they want to keep their LaLiga title charge alive.

Atletico are winless in their last LaLiga two games, having suffered a shock defeat to Leganes before having to come from behind to salvage a draw with Villarreal last time out.

It has seen them drop to second in the table, four points behind Real Madrid, with Real Mallorca next up in the Spanish top-flight. 

Atletico Madrid have won their last four games against Mallorca in LaLiga, keeping a clean sheet in each of the last three. They have never registered four consecutive shutouts against the Balearic club in the competition before.

"We need goals in all facets of the game. Not to mention the defenders too, especially from set pieces," Simeone told reporters.

"We need to work, create situations similar to those that may arise in matches so that, after repetition, the calmness to resolve goal situations appears."

Simeone will manage his 500th LaLiga match at Atletico Madrid on Saturday (W305 D112 L82). He is the eighth coach to reach this figure in the history of the competition, and the first to do so with a single club.

He is determined to get their league form back on track, having sealed automatic qualification for the Champions League last 16 with their 4-1 win over RB Salzburg on Wednesday.

"We take it one game at a time, knowing the needs of our opponents and our own," he said.

"I imagine that our opponents will play in 5-4-1 with [Vedat] Muriqi or [Cyle] Larin, taking advantage of their aerial play and counterattacks."

Antoine Griezmann has been involved in five goals in his last eight LaLiga games against Mallorca (two goals and three assists), after failing to do so in any of his first six LaLiga games against them.

Alexander Sorloth, who has scored eight league goals in 18 games, missed three games in all competitions before coming off the bench in the second half against Salzburg. 

The 29-year-old will be available against Mallorca but Simeone remained tight-lipped on his starting line-up.

"He already had 35 minutes the other day to feel part of the team again after his short injury. We'll see who starts tomorrow, [Angel] Correa is fine, Griezmann, Sorloth is eager...," Simeone added.

Defender Cesar Azpilicueta might replace Javi Galan, who sprained his ankle in the Champions League clash against Bayer Leverkusen after Simeone said Atletico "need him and hope he can always be available."
