Match Facts:
Real Madrid (3rd, 57 pts):
- Los Merengues recovered from the home defeat in the derby at the hands of Atletico Madrid with a 3-1 win away to Levante.
- Zinedine Zidane's men know there is no more room for slip ups after their derby reverse but are lifted by the returns of Gareth Bale and Marcelo to the squad.
- Borja Mayoral has given the fans reason for excitement. The youth-team player performed well in mid-week and his coach will keep faith in him.
RC Celta (6th, 42 pts):
- Celta continue to work towards their target of qualifying for Europe for next season and picked up a respectable point last time out against Villarreal.
- The Galician side are unbeaten in three games and the positive vibe from the first half of the season is returning, after a tricky start to the calendar year.
- The best piece of news for the visitors is Nolito's return from an injury that became more complicated than expected. The striker is now back and scored the only goal of the game against Getafe last weekend. He is one of the key men in Berizzo's side.
