Match Facts:
Real Madrid (1st, 43 pts)
- Los Merengues are sitting pretty at the top of the LaLiga Santander standings and Zinedine Zidane's troops will be targeting all three points here, as they bid to tighten their grip at the summit. Victory here would also serve as a pick-me-up after the Madridistas bowed out of the Copa del Rey at the hands of RC Celta in midweek.
- The Madrilenians are yet to have been beaten on home soil so far this term, boasting a record of eight wins and two draws on their own patch.
#Zidane: "The fans are going to get behind the team; we're with them and they're with us."

Real Sociedad (5th, 35 pts)
- Eusebio Sacristan's side find themselves in the same boat as Madrid, with the Basques also looking to move on from their Copa del Rey elimination after being put to the sword by FC Barcelona. The San Sebastian outfit will be keen to get something out of this one to keep their dreams of a fourth-place finish alive.
- The 35 points that the visitors have amassed over the course of the opening 19 matchdays represents the best return registered by a La Real side since the 2002/03 campaign (43 points).
