Real Madrid travel to Mestalla tonight knowing that a win over Valencia would take them level on points with Barcelona at the top of La Liga.
Jose Mourinho’s side have won their last seven matches in all competitions, including four successive league games, to put themselves firmly back in the title race.
Madrid sit third in the standings with 27 points from 11 matches, three behind Barcelona, and arrive in Valencia following a dramatic 3-2 Champions League win over AEK Athens on Wednesday.
Valencia, meanwhile, have endured a difficult start to the season under Javier Aguirre and begin the weekend 19th in La Liga.
Los Che have collected just nine points from their opening 11 matches, winning twice and scoring only eight goals.
However, they did claim a much-needed 1-0 win away to Elche last weekend, with Umar Sadiq scoring the only goal to end a five-match winless run.
