Real Madrid need a victory on Sunday night, after dropping points last time out with a disappointing 2-1 defeat at the hands of Real Betis. Title rivals Barcelona and Atltico Madrid both won, to leave Los Blancos on the back foot in third place in the table.

The margins are still tight, with Barcelona leading the way on 57 points, Atltico following on 56, and Real Madrid on 54. However, Carlo Ancelotti's side have slipped off the pace that had them top of the league not long ago, with just one win in their last five league games.

They face a visit from the team on the outskirts of the Spanish capital, Rayo, who themselves are going through a slight rough patch, with no wins in their last three. They are, however, still in the hunt for European football and their best-ever top-flight finish, sitting seventh, one place above their previous best of eighth.
