FT: Eibar 3-0 Real Madrid. Santiago Solari, Sergio Ramos, Florentino Perez, your boys have taken one hell of a beating. Eibar emerge comfortable winners here at Ipurua thanks to goals from Gonzalo Escalante, Sergi Enrich and Kike Garcia. The win moves the hosts just two points behind Madrid and into seventh.
Another change for the visitors as Isco replaces Luka Modric.
62'
Kike fires a left-footed volley narrowly wide of the far post from the ensuing corner. This could be a cricket score at this rate.
62'
GREAT SAVE! Oreallana leaves Ceballos for dead with an outrageous nutmeg, before looking for the top corner, but Courtois makes a fine save to maintain the scoreline.
59'
Solari looks stunned. Real Madrid look stunned. Eibar continue to look dangerous.
GOAL! EIBAR! KIKE! 3-0! He's deserved that. The bustling frontman has been bright throughout and he ghosts in on the shoulder of Varane to tap Cucurella's low cross from the left into an unguarded net from six yards. Real Madrid are all over the shop and this is their first-choice back four...
GOAL! EIBAR! SERGI ENRICH! 2-0! Oh this is awful. It comes from a Madrid throw-in. Kroos pings the ball out to Odriozola on the right, but he is caught out and Cucurella seizes on it before feeding Sergi Enrich, who fires across Courtois and into the far corner via a kiss off the post.
48'
Cucurella sees his left-wing cross headed awkwardly over by Sergi Enrich. No sign of Eibar simply shutting up shop here.
48'
Riesgo is nice and alert to come out and meet Bale's attempted through ball for Odriozola.
46'
Real Madrid get us back underway here. Have they got a fightback in them?
45'
HT: Eibar 1-0 Real Madrid. Gonzalo Escalante's goal is the difference between the two sides at the break here. There were signs of frustration from Real Madrid towards the end of the half, with Eibar decent value for their lead. The home side have pressed high and played positively from the off and came close early on through Kike's ambitious volley, whilst Karim Benzema saw an effort scrambled off the line at the other end.
Bale is booked for complaining at not being given a free-kick following a clash with José Ángel as the pair contested a long ball. The Welshman doesn't look happy.
42'
Ramos heads the resulting corner high over the bar.
42'
José Ángel recovers to direct the ball behind for a corner after being caught out by Bale's run.
38'
Kike guides a tame effort on target from a right-wing free-kick, but he had just strayed a yard.
GOAL! EIBAR! ESCALANTE! 1-0! It is initially disallowed, but VAR does its job and the hosts lead! Eibar spring a counter from a Real Madrid corner and Orellana plays in Cucurella down the left. His low cross is met by Kike, who is denied by a fine save from Courotis, but Escalante is on hand to bundle home the loose ball!
15'
Kike goes close again as the ball is played back to José Ángel, who whips in an inviting ball, but Kike's header flashes wide at the near post.
14'
The hosts force a corner down the left, which Jordán will take.
11'
OFF THE LINE! José Ángel comes to the rescue of Eibar as he hacks Benzema's effort off the line. The Frenchman had gathered Asensio's low cross from the left and dinked the ball over Asier Riesgo, but Ángel arrived just in time to save the day.
9'
Bale slips Benzema in, but the offside flag halts his progress. However, the replays show play should have been allowed to continue.
7'
Bale flashes a powerful low ball across the six-yard box but there is no one there to get a touch.
7'
Eibar rob the ball deep in Real Madrid territory, but they can't create a chance. The hosts really are pressing very high so far.
5'
Gareth Bale chests down a ball over the top and lashes it into the top corner. A very good finish, but the flag had long since gone up for offside.
3'
OFF THE POST! What an effort from Kike! The former Middlesbrough man is in the mood today by the looks of it! Sergi Enrich flicks the ball into his striker partner's path some 30 yards out and Kike chests the ball down before letting fly on the volley. Courotis is beaten, but the ball crashes into the inside of the woodwork and to safety. Inches!
1'
Kike works the channel well with an intelligent run in behind, but the pass has too much on it and Courtois is out to gather.
1'
Eibar get the game underway!
Start of match
PRVW
The players are out on the pitch and we're ready for kick-off! Can Santiago Solari maintain his 100% record with 'Los Blancos'?
PRVW
The warm-ups are drawing to a close here as kick-off approaches. Will we be in for a thriller today?
Here's how these two sides have fared recently coming into this one:
PRVW
Bold form the hosts as they go with two up front in the form of Kike and Sergi Enrich. That means there is no place for Charles, nor suspended pair Pape Diop and Anaitz Arbilla, though former Wigan defender Ivan Ramis has won his race to be fit for the game.
PRVW
Eibar: Riesgo; Peña, Oliveira, Ramis, Cote; Orellana, Escalante, Jordan, Cucurella; Sergi Enrich, Kike. Subs: Areitio, R.Bigas, Sergio A., M.Cardona, De Blasis, Charles, Pere Milla.
I make that four changes from the 4-2 victory over Celta Vigo last time out, with Raphael Varane, Marcelo, Dani Ceballos and Marco Asensio coming in for Nacho, Sergio Regulion, Casemiro and Lucas Vazquez.
'Los Blancos' have scored 25 goals in their last nine games against Eibar.
PRVW
Real Madrid have won eight of their 10 games against the minnows, with two 1-1 draws the only blot on their copybook.
PRVW
Eibar have never beaten Real Madrid in 10 meetings between the sides.
PRVW
Eibar boss Jose Luis Mendilibar: "We know it will be a difficult game to win. If we start well and play our game, we'll have opportunities to win the game. Our idea is to play in their half, close to their box and if we manage to do that we'll have chances. I'm expecting a good team with a lot of good players, whoever starts. All of their players can win you a game on their own without playing well. I don't think there's too much difference in the style of football under the new manager."
PRVW
Real Madrid boss Santiago Solari: "I don’t know if it will be a tight game. I expect an intense and feisty match, as they have a very clear philosophy. They’re an aggressive team that press a lot. It will make for an entertaining game. I’m very grateful and excited about this big and beautiful responsibility. For me nothing has changed in the 11 years that I've been at this institution. The important thing is the commitment to your work every day and that we’re working along the same line."
PRVW
The visitors go into this one looking to claw back some ground on LaLiga pace-setters Barcelona, with the Catalans currently sitting four points ahead of sixth-placed Madrid ahead of their trip to the Wanda Metropolitano to face Atletico Madrid a little later today. Eibar, meanwhile, are currently 13th, but could move as high as seventh with a victory here.
