Real Madrid v Granada
In yesterday's news conference, Real boss Zinedine Zidane said: "It's a very important game and it's a team that are having a very good season so far and we know how they are going to play.
"We know we're playing a difficult opponent and we're prepared - there are no easy games in this league."
A win for Real Madrid tonight will take them level on points with leaders Atletico, who will have played two games fewer.
Granada are seventh on 21 points from 13 matches.

The Frenchman has either scored or had an assist for all of the last five goals Real have scored and has netted seven times in La Liga in 2020-21 - only Gerard Moreno of Villarreal has scored more with eight.
Benzema also leads the way with five La Liga assists, while team-mate Rodrygo has four and Dani Carvajal has three.
