Hello and welcome to another MARCA in English liveblog, this time taking you through the LaLiga clash between Real Madrid and Rayo Vallecano.

The world of Spanish football is still in shock at the sudden death of Barcelona club doctor Carles Miñarro García which led to the postponement of Barcelona vs Osasuna on Saturday evening, but other matches are going ahead.

Real Madrid knows that with Barcelona now not playing this weekend, there is a chance to go level on points with the Blaugrana as long as all three points are acquired against Rayo Vallecano.

This lesser-anticipated Madrid derby could prove to be another tough afternoon for Carlo Ancelotti's side, with league form really nosediving recently. Los Blancos has won one in five and Rayo Vallecano is enjoying a very good season. The away side will sense an opportunity to win here.

They sit in seventh place and whilst they have won none of their last three, they are a very tricky side to face and Real Madrid will be keeping an eye on the Champions League return leg against Atletico Madrid next week.
