Real Madrid are looking to bounce back against Leganes on Wednesday after falling off top spot in La Liga.
A first league defeat of the season to Mallorca on Saturday night allowed Barcelona to climb back to the summit of Spanish football at the expense of their arch-rivals.
At home to La Liga’s bottom side, Zinedine Zidane will be hoping for a response from his side.
Leganes have lost seven of their 10 league games this term, finding the back of the net on five occasions.

Real Madrid team news
Zidane was asked 11 questions about Gareth Bale in a rather extraordinary press conference on Tuesday – not all of them about the calf injury the forward suffered while on international duty with Wales.
In any case, Bale remains a doubt having missed training this week.
Nacho and Marco Asensio remain sidelined with long-term issues while Alvaro Odriozola will serve a suspension after he was shown a red card in that defeat to Mallorca.
Real Madrid possible XI: Courtois; Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo; Valverde, Casemiro, Kroos; Vinicius, Benzema, Hazard
Prediction: Real Madrid 3-0 Leganes
Against the league's bottom side, Real will be out to respond in style.
