Real Madrid can seize top spot in La Liga on Friday if they win their game in hand away at Valencia's Mestalla venue. The hosts are second to bottom in Spain't topflight while the visitors only need a point to hit the summit.

With the holidays now in the rearview mirror, Real Madrid will get back to work in La Liga when they travel to the Mestalla to take on Valencia CF on Friday. This clash will be the only La Liga fixture played this weekend, as the sides will play a game that was postponed earlier this season due to fatal flash floods in Valencia.
