Real Madrid v Real Sociedad LIVE: Real Sociedad stretch their unbeaten run in La Liga to seven matches

Both sides are trying to feel one another out so far.

Vinicius Junior does well down the left to evade a couple of challenges before he is eventually tackled. Vinicius vs Elustondo will be an entertaining battle tonight.

Real Madrid are moving the ball well in the final third, playing one and two touch football to keep the ball moving at speed.

That is a huge chance for La Real. Aihen Munoz fires in a vicious cross across the face of goal which Alexander Sorloth could only get the faintest of touches on. A stronger contact and that would have surely been 1-0 to Sociedad.

Real Sociedad do really well to beat the Madrid press and move into the final third where they are enjoying some good possession.

Toni Kroos whips in a good looking ball and it's headed out by a Sociedad head for a corner.

Karim Benzema is moving somewhat gingerly at the moment. Doesn't look to be too serious but he's still limping.

Alexander Sorloth is La Real's top scorer in La Liga this season with eight goals. He has scored in his last five consecutive La Liga matches! If he scores tonight he will equal a club record of scoring in six consecutive matches.

It looks as though Eduardo Camavinga will be playing left back for Real Madrid tonight, with Dani Ceballos, Fede Valverde and Toni Kroos in midfield.

Madrid are without Ferland Mendy, Aurelien Tchouameni, Daivd Alaba and Dani Carvajal.

Karim Benzema has scored in five consecutive La Liga games, and has scored nine goals in his last 10 games across all competitions.

Real Sociedad are without a host of players for this one, including top creator Mikel Merino (most assists at La Real with 7), David Silva, Mohamed-Ali Cho and Ander Guevara as well as plenty of others.

Carlo Ancelotti was full of praise for the opponents ahead of this one.

"Real Sociedad are playing some great football they're in good form and have a clear identity. It's a tough game - It will be important to deliver a complete match in defence and attack because Real Sociedad are a great side".

Real Madrid are still yet to lose a game at the Santiago Bernabeu in La Liga! Ancelotti's side have played seven, won five and drawn two - scoring 16 and conceding seven goals.

Real Madrid come into this match on 41 points, six points behind La Liga leaders FC Barcelona. A win today would see them close the gap back to three points. A reminder that Real still have to travel to Catalonia to take on Barcelona in March so they cannot afford to slip up in meantime.

La Real come into this one on a run of five consecutive La Liga victories. Their run of seven consecutive victories across all competitions came to an end recently as they narrowly lost 1-0 to FC Barcelona in the Copa del Rey.

A win for Imanol Alguacil's men today would take them to 41 points, level with Real Madrid in second!
