Esnaider eyes dream start against Real Madrid

Team News: 

-Getafe CF: Emiliano Velazquez (injured); Alvaro Medran (suspended).

-Real Madrid: Danilo (suspended).

Match Facts: Getafe (20th, 28 pts): 

-It is sink-or-swim time for Los Azulones, who lost to Villarreal CF last matchday and need to turn things around fast if they are to escape relegation.

-The side from the outskirts of Madrid haven't won for 12 games and failed to score in nine of those matches.

-This slump has resulted in Fran Escriba getting the boot and Juan Eduardo Esnaider being installed in the hotseat. The Argentine will be hoping to supply the famous new-manager bounce to steer the club to survival.

Real Madrid (3rd, 72 pts): 

-Zinedine Zidane's men head to the Coliseum on cloud nine after following up last weekend's comfortable victory over SD Eibar by qualifying for the Champions League semi-finals.

-Also on top form is midweek match-winner Cristiano Ronaldo, who has surpassed 30 league goals for the sixth successive campaign and is into double digits for both goals and assists this term.

Don't leave Madrid without… stopping by the exhibition Los amores a Shakespeare (Shakespeare’s Loves), which is being staged by the Spanish National Library in conjunction with the British Council. It explores 13 of the first translations of the Bard's work in Spain, some of which were produced by renowned authors such as Ramon de la Cruz, Leandro Fernandez de Moratin and Jose Maria Blanco (also known as Joseph Blanco White).
