Match Facts:
CD Leganes (17th, 27 pts)
- "I think we're going to produce a good performance tomorrow. We'll need to have the fans behind us," stated Asier Garitano during his press conference ahead of the match. The Butarque atmosphere will be at its finest to welcome the league leaders for the first time in LaLiga history.
- Leganes find themselves on a four-game unbeaten streak, which includes respectable draws against Sevilla FC at the Sanchez-Pizjuan and Real Sociedad at Anoeta. The hosts will be keen to keep that run going and spring a surprise against Los Blancos.
Real Madrid (1st, 68 pts)
- Zinedine Zidane's troops know there is little room for error in the title race with FC Barcelona hot on their heels. After making light work of D. Alaves at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday, the target is three more points which would keep the club top of the table.
- Karim Benzema was one of the standout performers in the weekend win, notching the first of the team's three goals. The Frenchman also played a key role in Madrid's crucial victory over Athletic Club at San Mames in their last away fixture.
