Player(s) to watch:

• Ayoze Pérez is having a phenomenal season as he is the top goalscorer for his team in LaLiga. He has scored three goals in his previous five games and will look to find the back of the net against the defending champions. He is versatile and can operate equally well as a left winger and a striker.
• Kylian Mbappe is finally replicating his greatness for Los Blancos, following a slow start to the season. He is widely regarded as the best player in the world. He is quick, dynamic and effective. Despite playing just his first season for the club, he is his team's most reliable goalscorer. Carlo Ancelotti will depend heavily on him to secure all three points for the team.
