Real Madrid
Real Madrid will look to make it three straight La Liga victories when they welcome Real Sociedad to the capital on Saturday night.
The hosts are at the top of the division, with six points clear of second-placed Sevilla.
In their last league outing, they come into this tie on the back of a 1-0 derby win over Rayo Vallecano.
Since their shock 1-0 defeat at Getafe at the start of January, Carlo Ancelotti’s men have kept their cool, winning four of their last six league matches, including their previous two against Alaves and Rayo Vallecano.
They have not conceded a single goal in La Liga since January 23 and will come into this game looking to take maximum points.
They have won ten out of the last 15 meetings between both teams in all competitions, so they will fancy their chances of getting another win here.
Possible Real Madrid starting line-up
Courtois; Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, Nacho, Ferland Mendy; Luka Modric, Edouard Camavinga, Federico Valverde; Marco Asensio, Vinicius Junior, Karim Benzema.
Injured: Gareth Bale
Doubtful: Toni Kroos, Andriy Lunin, David Alaba

Real Sociedad
Real Sociedad will look to make it three wins in three games when they travel to the capital on Saturday.
After being eliminated from the Europa League by RB Leipzig, the visitors have responded impressively, winning their last two in the league, beating Osasuna by a single goal at the end of February before recording a 2-0 victory over Mallorca on Wednesday evening to return to the sixth spot in the table.
They will now look to build on those wins as they chase European qualification for the third straight season.
This season, the Basque side has collected 44 points from their 26 league matches, which has left them just one point behind fourth-placed Barcelona, so a Champions League finish is still open this term.
With Barca not in action until later on Sunday, head coach Imanol Alguacil will hope that Real Madrid’s focus on the huge European fixture with PSG will allow them to collect a huge three points leapfrog the other teams temporarily into the top four.
Possible Real Sociedad starting line-up
Alex Remiro; Joseba Zaldúa, Aritz Elustondo, Robin Le Normand, Aihen Muñoz; Portu, Martín Zubimendi, David Silva; Mikel Oyarzabal, Alexander Sorloth, Alexander Isak.
Injured: Sociedad, Joseba Zaldua, Nacho Monreal, Carlos Fernandez, Adnan Januzaj, Rafinha, Diego Rico and Ander Barrenetxea
Doubtful: None
Suspended: None
Prediction
Real Madrid 2-0 Real Sociedad
