Valencia has to quickly rebound from its first loss of the season - a 1-0 home defeat against Manchester United in the Champions League - to hold onto the Spanish league lead against a tough Athletic Bilbao on Saturday.

Barcelona hopes to field Lionel Messi when it hosts Mallorca on Sunday following a difficult Champions League draw with Rubin Kazan, while slow-scoring Real Madrid plays Deportivo La Coruna at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Villarreal hosts Racing Santander in its bid to stay second in the standings, above Barcelona and Madrid.
