Real Madrid will play their first match of 2020 on Saturday as they travel to Getafe in Spain's top flight.

Zinedine Zidane's side have only lost one of their 18 league matches during the 2019-20 campaign, although seven draws has cost them the chance to lead the division at this stage of the season.
