Real Madrid will hope to make it four La Liga victories on the bounce when they welcome Catalan rivals Espanyol to the Bernabeu in La Liga on Saturday.
Zinedine Zidane's men went to the top of La Liga with a 2-1 win over Alaves on Saturday, with captain Sergio Ramos netting an important late winner.
Los Blancos, who are yet to lose at home this season, will be expected to beat Espanyol by a much more convincing scoreline in front of their own supporters.
