Title-chasing Real Madrid return to action with a trip to the south-east to face an Elche side aiming to reverse their recent run of disappointing results.
Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game as it happens.
Real Madrid are headed into the international winter break off the back of a frustrating goalless stalemate with Rayo Vallecano -- a result which followed its underwhelming 1-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League. With Barcelona having taken advantage of Los Blancos' dropped points at the Estadio de Vallecas, a win seems imperative for Xabi Alonso's team today in pursuit of a 37th La Liga title.
Promoted from the Segunda Division in May, Elche now appears to be showing its frailties at this level. Los Franjiverdes have failed to record a win in their last seven La Liga encounters, and look set to struggle against a Real Madrid side aiming to affirm their place at the top of the standings.
Elche takes on Real Madrid at the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero on Sunday, Nov. 23. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. CET local time, making it a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT start in the US, an 8 p.m. GMT start in the UK and a 7 a.m. AEDT kickoff in Australia on Monday morning.
Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid boasts the best away record in La Liga this season, having notched 13 points from six matches on the road.
