Real Madrid welcome Villarreal to the Bernabéu in a crucial La Liga fixture, with both teams positioned in the top three following strong starts to the season.

Real Madrid, sitting second on 18 points, are looking to rebound from a derby defeat to Atletico but come in off a 5-0 Champions League win over Kairat.

Villarreal, just two points behind in third, are on a three-game winning streak in the league and have the joint-best defensive record, though they twice fought back for a draw against Juventus in midweek UCL action. 

Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
