The hosts face a few absences due to suspensions as they prepare for the weekend clash, with both Iago Aspas, who's netted four goals in La Liga this season, and Ilaix Moriba unavailable following red cards in their recent match against Las Palmas.

Real Madrid team news
Real Madrid face a few lineup changes as they prepare for their upcoming fixture. Thibaut Courtois remains a question mark due to his hip injury, likely leaving Andriy Lunin to hold his place in goal, while Dani Carvajal is sidelined for the season with a significant knee injury.
On a positive note, Los Blancos are expected to welcome back Eder Militao and Vinicius Junior, both of whom sustained knocks against Villarreal, while Dani Ceballos made his return to the bench against the same side.
Brahim Diaz and David Alaba are still unavailable, yet no additional setbacks were reported during the international break.
Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham are also anticipated to feature, with Lucas Vazquez stepping in at right-back to fill the void left by Carvajal.
