Malaga
Real Madrid
- Malaga got back to winning ways on the road for the first time since early September as they beat Sevilla 2-0 in an Andalusian derby last weekend.
- With Jeremy Toulalan still sidelined, Manuel Iturra is expected to continue alongside Ignacio Camacho in midfield, with the only possible change from the Sanchez Pizjuan coming up front where Javier Saviola could replace Roque Santa Cruz.
- Any slight chance of Real retaining their title seemed to slip away as a late Espanyol equaliser saw them slip 13 points behind Barcelona at the top of the table.
- However, los Blancos should be boosted by the return of Karim Benzema who is expected to shake off the ankle knock that kept him out against Espanyol.
- Angel Di Maria is also expected to come back into the starting 11 after making a big impact as a substitute last weekend.
Hahaha, Please, don't fire Mourinho. He has been making my day since the season started.
Malaga will win this one.
Roque Santa Claus - Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas

Interesting lineup from Mourinho by benching Casillas and playing unnerved Adan. Hope Real Madrid don't slip against Malaga too.
Mourinho out please. Thanks.
@therealestmc: That's exactly why I want Madrid to lose.
