Real Madrid will be looking to bounce back from Tuesday's shock Champions League defeat to Sheriff Tiraspol when they travel to Espanyol in La Liga on Sunday afternoon.
Carlo Ancelotti's side had recovered from a one-goal deficit at the Bernabeu to level the scores in the European contest, but Sheriff scored in the final exchanges to record a 2-1 victory.
The capital giants were held to a goalless draw by Villarreal in their last league contest, but they are currently top of the table, one point clear of second-placed Real Sociedad.
