(Reuters) - Real Sociedad may be the surprise LaLiga leaders, but Real Madrid are close to full strength and can begin to steal a march on their rivals this weekend when they face Rayo Vallecano, with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid still underperforming.
Carlo Ancelotti's side are one point behind Sociedad but have a game in hand. Real Madrid are also eight points ahead of old foes Barca, who are yet to announce a permanent successor to sacked coach Ronald Koeman.
Hazard and Bale will have a hard time trying to displace Vinicius Jr. in the starting line-up as the Brazilian, who assisted Benzema twice on Wednesday, has seven goals and three assists in 11 LaLiga games, only two goals behind the Frenchman in the scoring charts. On Sunday, Sociedad will face another of the season's surprise packages in Osasuna who have risen to seventh in the standings in their third campaign back in the top flight.
