Welcome to the Evening Standard’s LIVE coverage of the LaLiga contest between Getafe vs Real Madrid.
Los Blancos are back in action after the winter break with a local derby and will be looking to turn up the pressure on Barcelona, who face Espanyol later tonight.
After three straight draws before the festive period, a win at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez would see Zinedine Zidane’s second-placed side leapfrog their fiercest rivals – at least temporarily.
However, they can expect a tough test against a Getafe side that currently lie sixth and only two points adrift of the top four.
Can they dent Real Madrid’s title charge? Ben Hayward is covering this intriguing clash, which kicks off at 3pm GMT.
