Real Madrid to kick off Saturday\'s matches in Primera Liga

Real Madrid join the early kick off club this Sunday in the eleventh round of games in the Spanish BBVA Primera Liga. Real Madrid will play Osasuna at 12 o\'clock midday in the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in a match that viewers in Asia will be able to watch on primetime television in their respective countries. Madrid coach Jose Mourinho will bring Gonzalo Higuain back into his starting 11, where the main problems are in defense with injuries to left backs Marcelo and Fabio Coentrao. Lassana Diarra could fill in at right back with Alvaro Arbeloa playing on the left. Osasuna meanwhile travel to Madrid after taking seven points from a possible nine, but coach Jose Luis Mendilibar will have to cope with injuries and suspensions which look like robbing him of up to seven first team players, including central defender Sergio Rodriguez and winger Alvaro Cejudo, who was sent off in last Sunday\'s win over Levante. Barcelona also play on Sunday night and face a tricky trip to San Mames to face an Athletic club Bilbao that has not lost in its last six league games. Leo Messi has scored two hat-tricks in his last two matches while Andres Iniesta and David Villa also return for Barcelona. Athletic are likely to be tired after playing Europa League football on Thursday night, while Barcelona\'s Champions League tie last Tuesday means the Catalans have enjoyed an extra 48 hours\' rest. There are three games on Saturday in Spain with the highlight being the Valencia derby between Levante and Valencia. Levante may have lost their unbeaten record and slipped to third in the table last weekend, but there will be a packed house to see if they can defeat their local rivals, who have always been the biggest club in the city.
