Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Spanish Liga fixture between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad. We'll bring you all the action as it happens. Kick off is at 5.30pm.

Bounce back! Real Madrid come into this game on the back of a disappointing raw away to Villarreal on Thursday night. Solari's side need to bounce back to keep within touching distance of the pace-setters in La Liga.

Big call! Bale's injury has left Real Madrid short in the attacking areas, but rather than pick Isco for this game Solari has instead selected teenager Vinicius Jnr. That's a bold decision.

TEAM NEWS: Real Madrid - Courtois, Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo, Modric, Casemiro, Kroos, Vazquez, Vinicius, Benzema. /// Real Sociedad - Rulli, Elustondo, Moreno, Zurutuza, Munoz, Llorente, Illarramendi, Merino, Oyarzabal, Januzaj, Jose.
