Despite a somewhat tumultuous start to the campaign, Real Madrid sits second in the La Liga table, trailing arch-rival Barcelona by just six points and with a game in hand. That means continued positive results will be necessary for Real Madrid to keep the pressure on La Blaugrana as the La Liga campaign continues to roll forward this weekend.

Real Madrid visit Leganes in the first game after the FIFA break. Los Blancos will be without some key players like Vazquez, Militao, Rodrygo or Tchouameni, so it will be interesting to see if rotation assets like Brahim or Asensio perform at a high level.
