Good afternoon everybody and welcome along to another MARCA in English live blog, this time taking you through the LaLiga matchup between Alaves and Real Madrid at Estadio Mendizorroza.

Real Madrid return to LaLiga action on the back of two defeats – first, at home to Valencia last Saturday, before a painful 3-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League on Tuesday. Now, they must win at Alaves to keep up the pressure on rivals Barcelona, who are seven points clear at the top of the table after their 1-0 win at Leganes on Saturday.

Los Blancos know that a win is the only result that will serve their title push but it won’t be easy after a rocky run of form, coupled with the fact that they face Arsenal on Wednesday in the return leg.

That leaves Carlo Ancelotti in the difficult spot of considering whether to rest players today with Arsenal in mind, but knowing that there is no room for error in today’s league fixture.

Alaves, on their part, are fighting for their LaLiga survival and will be looking to their fans to give them a real push. Things have taken a positive turn in recent weeks for Eduardo Coudet‘s side, with two wins and two draws from their last five league matches, which has lifted them out of the relegation zone, in 17th place.
