Real Sociedad (9th, 34 pts):
- A five-match unbeaten streak has taken the Basque side up to ninth in the table. Eusebio's troops last tasted defeat on 22 January, when they were thumped 5-1 by R. Sporting at El Molinon.
- Imanol Agirretxe has already reopened his goalscoring account after coming back from injury. The La Real striker hadn't played since 30 December, but didn't take long to make his mark after being introduced against Malaga last matchday, notching the equaliser.
What's on in Madrid this Tuesday?
Visit the Georges de la Tour exhibition at the Prado. The Frenchman was an artist who was comfortable financially, prickly personally and renowned professionally, reaching the height of his career when he was appointed as the painter to Louis XIII. His pieces are remarkable for their lyricism, with his nocturnal scenes – most of which are religious – particularly salient examples.
