Real Madrid will be looking to make it four straight wins in all competitions when they welcome Athletic Bilbao to the Spanish capital on Tuesday night.
Los Blancos have eased the pressure on head coach Zinedine Zidane courtesy of three straight victories, including a huge 2-0 success over Atletico Madrid in La Liga on Saturday.
As it stands, the Spanish champions are third in the table, three points behind leaders Atletico, although the picture could have changed by the time that they take to the field for this match.
