Villarreal have enjoyed a stunning start in LaLiga this season as they currently sit in second place on the league table. The Yellow Submarine have racked up 18 points from eight games and are only two points behind table-toppers Real Sociedad. Unai Emery's side are currently on a four-game winning streak across all competitions. 

Prior to the international break, Villarreal recorded impressive wins over Valladolid and Getafe. Their only defeat came against Ronald Koeman's Barcelona in September. However, hosting defending champions Real Madrid at the weekend is bound to be one of their toughest games this season.
