Real Madrid will look to continue their impressive run of form when they take on Rayo Vallecano at the Estadio de Vallecas in a La Liga encounter on Monday.
Los Blancos head into this fixture on the back of a thumping 5-1 win over Celtic in the UEFA Champions League and will be gunning for three points against their capital neighbours. They had their lead at the top of the table reduced to just a point over Barcelona after drawing against Girona and can ill-afford to drop further points in the title race.
Meanwhile, Andoni Iraola's side are unbeaten in their last four games and have grabbed two consecutive victories in La Liga. They are ninth in the table, with 18 points from 12 matches, and Carlo Ancelotti's men will have to be switched on at the Vallecas to claim all three points.
