Preview: Real Sociedad vs. Real Madrid

Sports Mole previews the La Liga clash between Real Sociedad and Real Madrid.

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti is not expected to make any changes to his starting lineup when he takes his side to Real Sociedad on Sunday evening.

Long-term injury victim Jese remains out with a serious knee injury, but aside from the Spaniard, Ancelotti has a fully-fit squad to choose from for their first away fixture in La Liga.

The 2014 Champions League winners started their campaign with a comfortable 2-0 success over Cordoba on Monday evening.

After losing star player Antoine Griezmann during the summer, Sociedad have gotten off to a disastrous start to the season both domestically and in Europe.

Minnows Eibar edged to a narrow 1-0 win over Sociedad last weekend before Jagoba Arrasate witnessed his side get knocked out of the Europa League by FC Krasnodar on Thursday night.

Sociedad will be without Ion Ansotegi and Alfreo Finnbogason for the game at the Anoeta.
