are 11 points behind leaders Barcelona and will be desperate to get all three points as they keep fighting for the title. They have not lost any of their last 17 matches against Celta de Vigo in La Liga (W15 D2), since a 0-2 defeat at Balaídos in May 2014, their best unbeaten run against the Galician side in the top-flight.
Real Madrid are one of the two teams to have scored the most goals from build-up attacks in La Liga this season along with FC Barcelona (five goals) which shows how prolific they have been even when teams sit deep against them.
Meanwhile, Karim Benzema has scored 233 goals in 434 La Liga games and can equal Hugo Sanchez as the fourth-highest goal scorer in the competition ever (234 goals in 347 games) if he gets on the scoresheet.
On the other hand, Celta are in 12th place with 36 points from 29 matches. They are unbeaten in their last five away games in La Liga (W2 D3) and if they avoid defeat, they will achieve their best unbeaten run away from home in the competition since October 2015.
All eyes will be on Iago Aspas who loves playing against Real Madrid and has been involved in eight goals in 17 league appearances.
