The three points can be ours, especially at home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The round opens on Friday with Giron and Real Betis at home to Celta Vigo and Osasuna respectively, while Saturday\u2019s key game see Real Sociedad head to Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero to take on Elche. La Real are hoping winger Takefusa Kubo continues the excellent form he has shown early in the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<strong>Kubo <\/strong>is a great player and he has a lot of talent and quality. It\u2019s as if he\u2019s been with us for three years. Debut, goal and work. That is what he has shown,\u201d said manager Imanol Alguacil. \u201cI like both the inside and the top. He adapts to everything and is a great player. He can show a lot at Real.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sunday features heavyweights Barcelona and Real Madrid in action. Barcelona will welcome Real Valladolid to Camp Nou for the early-evening clash, while Real face Espanyol away from home in the late kick-off.<\/p>\n<p>Barca\u2019s controversial but effective work in the transfer market has raised expectations that they will compete for the title this season, and manager Xavi has embraced that: \u201c<strong>I love high expectations and pressure.
