Where to watch
Villarreal vs. Real Madrid will air in the US on ESPN Select.
New Real Madrid coach Álvaro Arbeloa faces a tricky test of his managerial abilities on Saturday as his team travels to face a Villarreal side that has emerged as a serious title contender in La Liga.
The hosts come into today's big game in third, with Marcelino García Toral's men just eight points off La Liga leader Barcelona, and seven behind their hosts today with a game in hand. The Yellow Submarine has had a slight dip in form coming into this key clash, with last week's 2-0 defeat away at Real Betis followed by a 2-1 loss at home to Ajax in the UEFA Champions League.
Arbeloa suffered an embarrassing Copa del Rey defeat in his first match in charge, but Madrid appears to be getting into a winning groove. Last weekend's 2-0 La Liga win at home to Levante was followed by an impressive 6-1 hammering of Monaco in Europe in midweek.
Villarreal faces Real Madrid at the Estadio de la Cerámica on Saturday, Jan. 24. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. CET local time, 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT in the US and Canada, 8 p.m. GMT in the UK and 7 a.m. AEDT kickoff in Australia.
