Teams: Valencia v Real Madrid
Date: 15 December 2019
Venue: Mestalla
Real Madrid will look to take advantage of FC Barcelona's slip up on Saturday as they travel to the Mestalla to take on Valencia on Sunday evening.
Barcelona played to a 2-2 draw away to Real Sociedad on Saturday afternoon, which means Zinedine Zidane's troops can move top with victory this evening.
Los Blancos have to deal with a host of injuries in Eden Hazard, Marcelo, Ferland Mendy, Lucas Vazquez, James Rodriguez and Marco Asensio.
The hosts, meanwhile, aren't spared in this regard as the likes of Goncalo Guedes, Maxi Gomez, Denis Cheryshev and Jasper Cillessen will miss the clash tonight.
Valencia are three points away from edging closer to the top four, but Los Blancos will go three points clear of rivals Barca with victory ahead of Wednesday's El Clasico.
Los Che picked up only one win against Real in the last five matches, but Real will look for five successive wins for the second time in three years under Zinedine Zidane.
Valencia: Domenech, J.Costa, Paulista, Garay, Gaya, Soler, Parejo, Coquelin, Wass, Ferran, Rodrigo.
Real Madrid: Courtois, Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Nacho, Kroos, Valverde, Modric, Isco, Rodrygo, Benzema.
