With Barcelona and Atletico Madrid drawing on Saturday, Real Madrid has been presented with a golden opportunity to go just three points behind the two league leaders with a win over Espanyol.

While no La Liga game is a given, Los Blancos will be heavily tipped to beat an Espanyol team that has lost two straight, including a Copa del Rey round of 16 game against AD Alcorcon.

So will Real Madrid make up ground on La Liga's leaders? Or will Espanyol claim a point (or three) and keep Los Blancos at arm's length of the top two teams?
