Real Madrid host Villarreal on Sunday with top spot in their sights after Girona pulled away last weekend. Los Blancos dropped points against Real Betis which enabled the Catalan side to leapfrog Carlo Ancelotti's men thanks to a win over Barcelona. Real have still lost just once all season which came against Atletico Madrid while Villarreal are 13th in the table and lost to Real Sociedad last time out. Marcelino is now in charge so El Submarino Amarillo can hope for future improvement. Europe is a big ask for Villarreal right now while Real will hope to be in top spot come 2024 although Girona currently lead the way ahead of next week's UEFA Champions League round of 16 draw.
