La Liga continues this weekend with a cracking Saturday in prospect. Both Real Madrid and Barcelona are in action tonight as they look to continue their quests for the La Liga title 2009-10.
Real Madrid v Getafe: 18:00:
A fixture that has been quiet entertaining in the past few years. Last season Real Madrid needed a last gasp winner from Gonzalo Higuaín to secure a 3-2 win to kept them in the title race. Getafe have a Real Madrid Castilla look about them with Roberto Soldado, Daniel Parejo and Miguel Torres in the team.
Real Madrid will be hoping for a positive result tonight to ease the pain on last week's 0-0 stalmate at Gijón and the mid-week debacle of losing 4-0 to Alcorcon. Cristiano Ronaldo is struggling from an ankle injury and is likely to miss out. Coach Pellegrini has questions to answer after a disappointing week.
Osasuna v Barcelona: 20:00:
Barcelona go into this game in Pamplona top of the table by three points and depending on the result of Real Madrid's game they could extend their lead to six points. Having secured Carles Puyol until 2013 Barcelona go into this game with confidence. The season has started well enough and after last week's 6-1 hammering of Real Zaragoza this game could be a tougher test.
Osasuna meanwhile are 10th with 11 points from their 8 games.
Xerez v Sevilla: 20:00:
Sevilla go into this game looking to put last weekend's 0-0 draw with Espanyol behind them and get the three points against a Xerez side in 19th place. Sevilla are currently three points behind Real Madrid in 3rd while six behind Barcelona.
Athletic Bilbao v Atlético Madrid: 22:00:
The final game on Saturday sees Atlético Madrid travel to Athletic Bilbao with three points on their minds. Quique Sánchez Flores having been installed as new coach following Abel Resino's sacking will be wanting no less than three points here tonight.
