Real Madrid can set a club record by extending their unbeaten run to 35 games when they host Deportivo La Coruna on Saturday.

Deportivo's last visit to the Bernabeu in January coincided with Zinedine Zidane's first match in charge - and Real's thumping 5-0 victory was a sign of things to come in a dream debut year for the Frenchman as a head coach.

Madrid have not tasted defeat since April, winning the Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and opening up a six-point La Liga lead over Barcelona in the process.

"You have to congratulate the players," insisted Zidane. "They are the ones that are on the pitch, that have to fight and run."

Los Blancos will be looking for the perfect end to their La Liga campaign for 2016 as they head for the FIFA Club World Cup in Japan on Sunday.

However, Deportivo head to the Spanish capital buoyed by Monday's surprise 5-1 romp over high-flying Real Sociedad - their first league win since early October - which moved them out of the relegation zone.

"I am always optimistic and I am going there with the hope of getting something from the game," Deportivo boss Gaizka Garitano said.

"We are in the more desperate situation and we are not going to the Bernabeu just to make up the numbers."

With the exception of Gareth Bale, Madrid are at full strength for the visit of Deportivo.

Toni Kroos and Alvaro Morata made their returns from injury in Wednesday's 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League and are likely to feature once more, while Mateo Kovacic could be recalled after being rested on Wednesday.
