Match Facts:

Real Sociedad (5th, 48 pts)

- La Real are in fine form and remain hot on the heels of Atletico Madrid in the battle for fourth place. The club's push for Champions League qualification was boosted last time out by a 3-2 win away to Real Betis in which Xabi Prieto produced a sterling performance, including an impressive brace.

- The hosts are unbeaten against local rivals Athletic at Anoeta since October 2011 (W2 D2) and have only conceded one goal in those four games.

Athletic Club (7th, 41 pts)

- Ernesto Valverde's side are looking to string together back-to-back victories to boost their push to break into the top six, having fallen to defeat in games straight after each of their last three league wins.

- Los Rojiblancos know that there is plenty of room for improvement on the road this season, having only mustered two wins and two draws away from San Mames in 12 matches.
