Real Sociedad are knocking the ball around nicely and look really smooth in attack.

The hosts are not being allowed to settle on the ball in these opening minutes.

Real Sociedad have lost 10, and only won one, of their last 12 La Liga visits to the Bernabeu.

But!

They do boast the best away record in the league so far this season, and they have already beaten Zinedine Zidane's side twice in 2019 - winning both La Liga fixtures last season.

This SHOULD be a great game!

We're under way in the Spanish capital!

'Disrespectful, misguided, ungrateful'.

Gareth Bale has received heavy criticism in the Spanish media after celebrating Wales Euro 2020 qualification with a flag which read "Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order", following criticism from fromer Real player Pedja Mijatovic.

Zinedine Zidane insisted he was "not interested" in any of that and "will look only at the sport".

That stance has seen Bale not feature since 5 October, and he starts on the bench again tonight.

Visitors Sociedad have lost just one of their last six games in La Liga, and victory at the Bernabeu tonight would see them leap above Real Madrid in the table.

Before the start of play this weekend, just five points separated the top nine sides.

But with third-placed Atletico Madrid held to a 1-1 draw at Granada this evening, and Sevilla, in fourth, not in action until tomorrow, things could start to look rather familiar again in Spain should Real take three points tonight.

Zinedine Zidane is forced into one change from the side that put four goals past Eibar before the international break.

Lucas Vazquez has broken a toe after dropping a weight on it in training, and in his absence 18-year-old Rodrygo starts.

Gareth Bale is on the bench (more on that shortly).

Real XI: Courtois, Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Mendy, Modric, Casemiro, Valverde, Rodrygo, Benzema, Hazard

There are two changes for Real Sociedad from their 1-1 draw with Leganes two weeks ago.

Martin Odegaard starts against his parent club, and is joined by Aritz Elustondo in the starting XI.

Adnan Januzaj is among those on the Socieadad bench.

Real Sociedad XI: Remiro, Zaldua, Elustondo, Llorente, Monreal, Odegaard, Zubeldia, Merino, Portu, Willian Jose, Oyarzabal.

While the main focus will be on the big game in La Liga this evening, I'll also keep you updated on events in Serie A as Antonio Conte's Inter look to keep pace with leaders Juventus.

Maurizio Sarri's Juve came from behind to beat Atalanta 3-1 earlier today, a result which takes them four points clear of Inter for the time being.

Conte's side can't afford any mistakes.

That one will be under way shortly!

Champions Barcelona came from behind to beat Leganes earlier today, opening up a three point gap on Real Madrid in second place.

The task for Zinedine Zidane's side is simple enough, then. Only victory will do.

But tonight they face a tough test against fifth-placed Real Sociedad this evening.
