Match preview

The LaLiga title race is getting spicy as Real Madrid trails arch rivals Barcelona by just a single point. However, that gap could be four points by the time Los Blancos kick off on Sunday at the Mestalla against Valencia.

Valencia are clearly happier at the Mestalla, with 17 of their 23 points this season picked up in home games, and they haven't lost a LaLiga match there since October. Despite this, Los Che are just a point clear of the relegation zone and will be fighting for their lives.

Valencia will be without the injured trio Thierry Correia, Julen Agirrezabala and Mouctar Diakhaby. Cristian Rivero is suspended.

Eder Militao, Jude Bellingham and Ferland Mendy are all ruled out for Madrid with injuries. Trent Alexander-Arnold could make a much-awaited return, but Vinicius Jr is suspended.

Real Madrid lead LaLiga with 10 clean sheets. 

Kylian Mbappe leads LaLiga with 22 goals and has slotted his last six penalties.

Four of Valencia's last six LaLiga matches have ended as draws.

>How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
