IT'S A BIG WEEKEND FOR... REAL MADRID
There is no let-up for Real Madrid at the moment. Rafa Benitez's side have won five games in a row since losing the Clasico to Barcelona on November 21, but they need to keep on winning in order to maintain their hopes of claiming La Liga at the end of the season.

With a relatively straightforward calendar since the Barca game and winnable matches to come against Rayo Vallecano and Real Sociedad at home before the end of the year, Sunday's trip to Villarreal represents their last big test in 2015 and only a victory will do at El Madrigal.

Barca are at home to Deportivo and almost certain to win that one, so the Catalans look likely to be seven points clear of Real on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Villarreal are currently in fifth and playing some fantastic football under Marcelino, but the Yellow Submarine did concede three in a 3-3 draw away to Viktoria Plzen on Thursday and their coach said: "If we defend like that against Madrid, they will score seven."

Real netted eight in their last match, against Malmo on Tuesday night, with Gareth Bale, Luka Modric and Keylor Navas all rested to keep them fresh for Sunday's game. In another boost, Sergio Ramos looks set to return from injury to feature.
