Real Madrid will look to extend its La Liga unbeaten streak to 38 games as the reigning Spanish champions take on Espanyol at the Santiago Bernabéu. Real Madrid’s return to domestic action comes just four days after a late-game comeback against Stuttgart in its Champions League opening fixture.

Real are targeting three straight La Liga wins when they face their in-form visitors this weekend with Barca leading the way by four points. Ancelotti's side have 11 points from five games and have won their last two leagues outings as well as their UEFA Champions League opener. Espanyol have won their last two to rise to 12th with seven points.

Real Madrid will be going up against Espanyol in their La Liga match as the best club in the history of the Champions League try to close the gap to rivals Barcelona who sit comfortably at the top of the La Liga table.
