Jose Mourinho's side opened up a ten-point gap at the top of the La Liga table by defeating Sevilla 3-0 earlier today.
Barcelona, who are currently in second spot, travel to Rayo Vallecano this evening.
Should the Catalan club lose to their Madrid-based opponents, it will hand Los Blancos the title.
It will be the 32nd time in the club's history that Madrid will be ranked the number one team in Spain.
