Real Madrid vs Real Valladolid
La Liga 2018/19
Venue: Santiago Bernabeu
Date: Saturday, 3 November
Kick-off: 3:15pm GMT
Real Madrid caretaker coach Santiago Solari will oversee his first game at the Bernabeu on Saturday as Los Blancos host Real Valladolid - a side who sit two points above them in La Liga.
Real sacked Julen Lopetegui on Monday night following a disastrous run of form which culminated in a 5-1 Clasico thrashing at Barcelona, with the former Spain coach lasting just four months.
Solari secured his first win as caretaker coach in Wednesday night's 4-0 Copa del Rey win at Melilla, and another victory in La Liga on Saturday will boost his chances of a permanent contract as the club struggle to find a top-class successor to Lopetegui.
