    Real Madrid 0-0 Villarreal

    One of the biggest differences between Real Madrid and Barcelona this season has been the squads.

    Marcelo or Ferland Mendy at left-back. Rodrygo or Vinicius Jr or Eden Hazard or Marco Asensio (or Gareth Bale...) on the wings. Federico Valverde or Toni Kroos in midfield.

    Barcelona don't have several options of similar quality. If their best players aren't available, the back-ups just aren't that good.

    Real Madrid 0-0 Villarreal

    Real Madrid can win 10 consecutive La Liga games for the first time since 2016 - also under Zinedine Zidane - when they won a club-record 16 in a row.

    A word of warning - that run ended with a 1-1 draw at home against Villarreal.

    First chance is to Real but Dani Carvajal's attempted chip from the edge of the box is held by the away keeper after a nervy moment.

    Eden Hazard fails to keep a cross-field pass in play. Chelsea will get some €€€€ coming their way if Real win the league.

    This would be a strange venue to clinch the league for Real Madrid.

    They are at the Alfredo di Stefano Stadium in their training complex, which is where they have been since the restart. The Bernabeu is being refurbished.

    Today is Gareth Bale's 31st birthday. Will he be winning La Liga tonight to celebrate?

    He's on the bench as usual. He hasn't played since 24 June.

    Barcelona boss Quique Setien: “We are relying a team losing that has won every game since lockdown. We drew three games and that’s the difference. But anything can happen, so we’ll keep battling to the end.”
