Sports Mole previews Sunday's La Liga clash between Real Sociedad and Real Madrid.

Real Sociedad will be hoping to keep hold of the final Champions League qualification place in La Liga when they host Real Madrid on Sunday evening.

They moved ahead of Valencia into fourth place on goal difference thanks to a 2-1 win away at Sevilla last Saturday.

Meanwhile, Madrid will be looking to bounce back from the disappointment of losing last week's Copa del Rey final 2-1 to city rivals Atletico Madrid.

The match against Sociedad will be Jose Mourinho's penultimate game in charge of Los Blancos after the club confirmed on Monday that the Portuguese will leave the Santiago Bernabeu at the end of the season.

Phillippe Montanier, who has agreed a deal to manage Rennes next season, takes charge of Sociedad at the Estadio Municipal de Anoeta for the final time.

Montanier is likely to name the same XI which won at Sevilla, with Carlos Vela and Imanol Agirretxe retaining their places up front.

Mourinho could be tempted to make changes to the side which lost against Atletico, with Kaka, Angel di Maria and Gonzalo Higuain in contention to start.
