Real Madrid are in Valencia this evening as they play the first of their two games in hand over their Liga rivals due to their participation in the World Club Cup back in December.

Italian striker Simone Zaza will line-up for the hosts having finally broken his scoring duck last weekend; his first goal since leaving Juventus last summer.
