Real Madrid travel to the Estadio Martinez Valero to face Elche in LaLiga, with Jose Mourinho's side looking to maintain their early-season push at the top of the table.

Los Blancos arrive in Elche in strong form after a 4-1 demolition of Rayo Vallecano last weekend, a result that moved them level on points with Barcelona. Kylian Mbappe was at the heart of that performance, scoring twice and setting the tone for a display that underlined Real Madrid's attacking depth.

Elche, sitting in 19th place, have endured a difficult start to the campaign. They have won none of their last five league matches, taking just two draws from that run and conceding freely throughout.

Mourinho will be without several key players through injury, though his squad retains considerable quality across the pitch. New signing Bernardo Silva has spoken about being struck by the attacking firepower around him, and that quality will be on display again here.

Elche will take some encouragement from a 1-1 draw with Athletic Bilbao in their most recent outing, ending a three-match losing run. Martin Anselmi's side need points urgently and will look to make the Bernabeu visitors uncomfortable on home soil.

With the Madrid derby against Atletico on the horizon and Champions League commitments continuing, Mourinho faces familiar rotation decisions. This fixture presents an opportunity to manage minutes while staying on Barcelona's coattails at the summit.

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.
