Real Madrid are seeking to bring their three-game winless streak in La Liga to a close on Wednesday when they visit Athletic Club.
Los Blancos have drawn their last three matches in the league and have lost grasp of top spot as a result, with disappointing results against Rayo Vallecano, Elche and Girona piling pressure on Xabi Alonso. A response is required in Bilbao for what is a sixth straight away game for Madrid.
