Isco starts again for Real Madrid this evening. The playmaker was handed a surprise start for the Champions League game against Atalanta and has kept his place in the side.
7'
Real Sociedad, on the other hand, come into this game on the back of a disappointing exit from the last 32 of the Europa League at the hands of Manchester United who they barely troubled over two legs.

Things looked pretty bleak for Real Madrid at the point of that defeat to Levante. Zidane was under real pressure, but as he has done a number of times over the years the Frenchman has recovered.
5'
Real Madrid come into this match on the back of five straight wins. Zidane’s side have managed to turn things around since the home defeat to Levante back at the end of January.

Real Madrid on top at the start. Both of these teams are very comfortable with the ball at their feet. Real Sociedad will also attempt to take control of things through possession.

What sort of match will we get this evening? Real Madrid have been in good form of late, but injuries have left their squad options somewhat bare. They need a win here.

Isak has been on a real hot streak for La Real. Can the Swede continue his good form tonight?

Not long until kick off at the Estadio Alfredo di Stefano. Of course, this is where Real Madrid are playing their home games until construction work is finished on the Santiago Bernabeu.

This has the potential to be one of the most compelling matches in their round of La Liga fixtures. Real Sociedad certainly have the ability to trouble Real Madrid on their own patch.

I'm Graham Ruthven and you can catch me on Twitter ahead of the match to let me know your thoughts. Can Real Sociedad claim a win at the home of the champions? Tweet me - @grahamruthven!
19:30
Mariano starts! There's still no sign of Karim Benzema for Real Madrid and so Mariano has been handed the role up front by Zidane for this evening's match. He doesn't get many chances!
