Three big things to know
1. Madrid aren't helped by a string of injury problems. They'll be without several regular first-teamers, including Gareth Bale, Dani Carvajal, Pepe, Luka Modrić and Marcelo. Raphaël Varane and James Rodríguez will have to pass late fitness tests if they're to be involved.
2. Real Sociedad will be without Carlos Martínez, Markel Bergara and Imanol Agirretxe, who are all on the treatment table. Yuri Berchiche is out suspended, while Joseba Zaldúa is doubtful.
3. Real Sociedad haven’t won away at the Bernabéu since 2004, when Xabi Prieto netted a brace in a memorable 4-1 win. The club legend is still playing for La Real today, having made over 400 appearances for his hometown club. He’s likely to start in the centre of midfield in this game.
