Following a huge victory over Barcelona last weekend, Real Sociedad will look to continue their unbeaten start to the calendar year when they host Celta Vigo on Sunday afternoon in a LaLiga clash. The big win against the league leaders saw Pellegrino Matarazzo's side move back into the top half and keep their European hopes alive.
The White and Blues have gone four games unbeaten in all competitions since the turn of the New Year and know they will have another tough task on the weekend when they take on a Celta Vigo side who sit in seventh place.
