Sunday in the Liga BBVA comes to a close with the Basque derby, the match that squares off Sociedad and Athletic Club. The side from the Anoeta will be looking to return to the kind of form they produced in David Moyes' first game, against an Athletic who are looking for consistency in their bid to move towards the European spots.
Team news
Real Sociedad's manager, David Moyes, will announce his 18-man squad for the game when they arrive at the stadium. For Athletic, Andoni Iraola and Xabi Etxeita will miss the game.
Views from the dugout
David Moyes knows how special this kind of match is as he has experienced similar clashes as a player and coach: "They're very important games, but you still only get three points; I know it is very important for the fans, I want my team to win and we'll try and do that".
Ernesto Valverde, the Rojiblancos' manager, also spoke of the significance of the game: "The game is played a lot with the heart and little with the head, but we know in advance we will be giving one hundred per cent of both because this is a match between rivals".
