Valencia could cause trouble in Madrid

Sky Sports Football, from 5.15pm Sunday

Eibar v Athletic Bilbao5.15pm
Unfashionable Eibar started the season with a 1-0 victory at Malaga and can follow up by beating Athletic Bilbao at Ipurua Municipal Stadium.

Eibar won ten of their 19 home league games last season and will fancy their chances against uncertain travellers Bilbao, who have lost ten of their last 16 La Liga away games.

Eibar have conceded no more than one goal in eight of their last nine home fixtures.

Getafe v Sevilla7.15pm
Sevilla are safely through to the Champions League group stage after beating Istanbul Buyuksehir 4-3 on aggregate and they can cap off a perfect week by beating Getafe in the capital.

Newly-promoted Getafe achieved a creditable 0-0 at Athletic Bilbao last Sunday but may taste defeat for the first time this season.

Key stat
Sevilla have scored in each of their last eight matches.

Real Madrid v Valencia9.15pm
Champions Real Madrid began their title defence with an effortless 3-0 win at Deportivo La Coruna but they may have to work harder for the points when they host Valencia.

Highly-rated Marcelino has taken over at the Mestalla and significant improvement is expected this season.

Valencia downed Las Palmas 1-0 in their curtain-raiser and they have enough quality to notch at the Bernabeu, particularly with key defender Sergio Ramos suspended.

Aaron Ashley's recommendation
