LaLiga leaders Real Madrid can take another step towards their 36th domestic title when they host an Athletic Club side who are now in pole position to secure a top-four finish.
Madrid, who have won their last three home LaLiga games by a 9-0 aggregate score, sit five points clear of arch rivals Barcelona at the summit after Xavi’s side recorded a 1-0 win over Las Palmas on Saturday night.
Meanwhile, Athletic leapfrogged Atlético Madrid into fourth during the most recent round of LaLiga matches. The Basques’ 2-0 victory over Alavés, combined with Atlético’s 3-0 defeat to Barça, took Ernesto Valverde’s men one point above Los Colchoneros.
