Following a busy January in the transfer market, the battle for survival is hotting up, with at least half of LaLiga in the relegation picture. Sevilla face Alaves, and Levante host city rivals Valencia, in the two big games at the bottom this weekend.
At the other end of the table, Real Madrid can go top if they see off Real Sociedad on Saturday. Barcelona don’t play until Monday night when they travel to local rivals Girona.
Here are our LaLiga predicted lineups for matchday 24. All kick-off times are based on the local time in Spain. Players in bold are those considered to have the highest chance of starting (80% or more).
