Fireworks as Real Madrid visit Celta on Spain's matchday 9

There promises to be fireworks at the top of Spain's BBVA Primera Liga this weekend when top of the table Real Madrid travel to Vigo to take on this season's revelation, Celta on Saturday afternoon.

Both sides are tied along with FC Barcelona on 18 points and Celta will receive Rafael Benitez's side in a ground where they have already put four goals past Barca this season.

Morale is sky high in Celta after a last minute win away to Villarreal on Sunday and they have had all week to prepare for the match whereas Real Madrid had a tough European game in Paris on Wednesday.

Real Madrid also have injury doubts over Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale, Dani Carvajal and James Rodriguez, while Sergio Ramos' shoulder is still giving him problems, limiting Bentiez's options in attack.

Saturday also sees a local derby as struggling Granada entertain a Betis, who have won their last two away games, but who were surprisingly beaten by Espanyol at home last weekend.

Sevilla who performed exceptionally away to Manchester City on Wednesday, only to lose to a cruel last minute goal, continue a league campaign, which has seen them take seven points from their last three games, at home to a Getafe side which looks greatly improved under the stewardship of former Elche boss, Fran Escriba and which hammered Las Palmas 4-0 a week ago.

Saturday ends with a game between Malaga and Deportivo la Coruna, two sides who are becoming accustomed to the late kick off slot, which may be good for TV audiences, but does few favors to supporters who actually want to watch their football in the ground.

The visit of tiny Eibar to the Camp Nou is perhaps the highlight of Sunday's matches, but Barca will know that against a side which despite the smallest budget in La Liga, they will not be able to produce the kind of anarchic display that saw them beat Rayo 5-2 last weekend.

Eibar will not open up to offer the kind of space Rayo did and Neymar, Suarez and company will have to work much harder to unlock their defense.

Barca are still without Leo Mess and Rafinha (knee), while Sergi Roberto will also be sidelined for around a fortnight after aggravating a pelvic injury on Tuesday.

David Moyes is under extreme pressure as Real Sociedad visit struggling Levante. Both sides have only one win this season and defeat in the Ciudad de Valencia Stadium could mean the end for the former Manchester United boss' brief tenure in San Sebastian.

'La Real' travel without suspended duo, Jonathas and Ruben Reyes, who are both suspended.

New Las Palmas coach, Quique Setien makes his debut at the club following the surprise sacking of Paco Herrera last Monday. Setien has never coached in the Primera Liga and it won't be easy against high-flying Villarreal, who may suffer after playing the Europa League on Thursday.

Athletic Club Bilbao are also in Thursday night action but will look to their home game against Sporting Gijon to start catapulting them up the table. Keep and eye on the attacking trio of Inaki Williams, Raul Garcia and Aritz Aduriz. Endi
