Real Madrid and RC Celta square off in the Santiago Bernabéu on Saturday in what promises to be one of the most attractive clashes on Liga BBVA matchday 14.
The Whites, who have strung together ten victories in the Liga BBVA, are bidding to extend their impressive run and keep their place at the top of the table. They will be faced with a Galician side that is looking to upset the fans in Madrid's fortress, as they are coming off the back of two defeats and a draw in their last three games.

Team news
Sami Khedira and Luka Modrić, both injured, and the suspended Isco Alarcón will miss the game for the Whites. For the visitors, the injured Borja Oubiña will be the most significant absentee.

Views from the dugout
Real Madrid's coach, Carlo Ancelotti, praised his opponent: "Celta are a team that work well on the pitch". His counterpart in the Celta dugout, Eduardo Berizzo, shared his ideas on how to stop the leaders: "What worries me most is their strikeforce, but the most important thing is not to let them have the ball. We have to pressure as much as possible in the midfield".
