Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad game preview

Real Madrid are currently third in the LaLiga standings with 52 points from 24 league games. The Spanish heavyweights have racked up 16 wins while suffering four defeats along the way. The reigning LaLiga champions are currently on a four-game win streak in the league but still six points behind league leaders Atletico Madrid. Zinedine Zidane's side also recorded a crucial 1-0 win over Atalanta in the first leg of their UCL last 16 tie last week. The Los Blancos will be hoping to make it five league wins in a row when they host Sociedad at the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium on Monday night. 

Meanwhile, Real Sociedad are in fifth place on the LaLiga table, with 41 points from 24 games. Imanol Alguacil's side were held to a 0-0 draw against Man United in the Europa League last 32 on Thursday but exited the competition following their heavy 4-0 defeat in the first leg. However, with a top-four spot still up for grabs, Sociedad are expected to go all guns blazing against a Madrid side that are struggling with injuries to key players.

Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad team news, injuries and suspensions

For the hosts, Dani Carvajal, Sergio Ramos, Eden Hazard and Eder Militao all unavailable for selection. Karim Benzema and Marcelo have both made progress in their recoveries, but Monday's game is expected to come too soon for the duo. Marco Asensio and Vinicius Junior are expected to start in attack.

For Real Sociedad,  Luca Sangalli, Miguel Moya and Joseba Zaldua are still injured, while Aritz Elustondo is unlikely to be cleared to play as he recovers from an ankle problem. Mikel Merino is suspended due to the yellow card that he picked up against Alaves, meaning that Jon Guridi could feature in midfield, while Portu is expected to start in attack alongside Isak.
