"While they were disappointing at Anfield, the league season has been much more promising with Xabi Alonso's side five points clear of Barcelona at the top of the table as they prepare to face the division's 10th-placed team across the city. Real have been the standout team in La Liga this season, winning 10 of their 11 matches to collect 30 points and sit five clear of Barcelona ahead of gameweek 12."
"Rayo Vallecano have won three of their last four matches in all competitions, though their momentum was halted by a 4-0 defeat to Villarreal earlier this month. Inigo Perez's men sit 10th in La Liga with 14 points from 11 games, four points shy of the top six. Their home form has been inconsistent, collecting just five points from four matches at Vallecas, while they now face a Real Madrid side boasting the league's best away record with 12 points from five trips."
Real Madrid seek a reaction after a Champions League loss to Liverpool as they visit Rayo Vallecano in LaLiga. Madrid lead the table with 30 points from 11 matches, five clear of Barcelona, and can extend the gap with a win. The side pursue a fifth consecutive league victory after recent wins over Villarreal, Getafe, Barcelona and Valencia. Rayo sit 10th with 14 points from 11 games, have inconsistent home form and recent injuries, and have struggled historically against Madrid despite holding them in three of the last four league meetings.
