Team news
Julen Lopetegui fielded a strong starting eleven in the Champions League and with his side facing another tough midweek game at Sevilla on Wednesday, he may chose to rotate his squad for the visit of Espanyol.
The Catalans, for their part, could be missing centre-back David Lopez through injury.
Preview
This has been a fixture which Real Madrid have dominated over the years with Espanyol's visit to the Bernabeu almost always yielding three points for the hosts.
Last weekend's draw in Bilbao for Lopetegui's side was a setback in terms of the result, yet the performance was generally good and there is not too much negativity around the team despite already being two points behind Barcelona.
Los Blancos have not missed Cristiano Ronaldo in terms of scoring goals, with Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema netting four each to provide plenty of optimism on the final third.
Tips and predictions
Real Madrid are in good form, playing well and scoring goals, making the price of 11/10 (2.10) for them to win both halves at home to a side they have dominated in recent years looks too good to turn down.
