Costa has scored two goals and provided three assists in 15 appearances for the club this season.
Atletico come into the match with only one win from their last seven matches, which included their penalty shootout loss to Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup.
They take on a Liverpool team who are top of the Premier League and who are aiming to win back-to-back Champions League trophies.
