Los Blancos are 12 points behind leaders Barcelona and will be desperate to get all three points as they keep fighting for the title. However, they have won just three of their last 11 matches against Villarreal in La Liga, their worst current winless run against an opponent in the competition.

Karim Benzema and co. will be eager to improve that record, and will have their tails up after beating Barcelona 4-0 in the Copa del Rey semi-final at the Camp Nou.

The Yellow Submarine's away record against Madrid is not something to boast about, as they have won just one of their last 22 matches at Bernabeu.

Yeremi Pino could be the one to look out for as he has scored twice in five meetings against the capital side and will once again hope to beat Thibaut Courtois between the sticks.
