However, for following along online VAVEL is your best option!

Real Sociedad: Moya; Gorosabel, Llorente, Elustondo, Monreal; Merino, Zubeldia; Oyarzabal, Odegaard, Portu; Isak.

Granada: Silva; Diaz, Vallejo, Duarte; Neva, Vico, Herrera, Foulquier; Puertas, Soldado, Fernandez

Real Sociedad: WLWDD

Granada: LLDW

Granada will be unable to call upon Maxime Gonalons, Álex Martínez, Álvaro Vadillo and Quini. 

However, Martinez will welcome back on loan Real Madrid defender, Jesús Vallejo, who has been vital to Granada's back four since joining in the January transfer window. 

Sociedad will be without a number of key players, including Adnan Januzaj, Asier Illarramendi, Luca Sangalli and on loan striker, Jon Bautista. 

Imanol Alguacil will be able to call upon to the starting line-up, centre back, Diego Llorente and left back, Nacho Monreal.

Should Granada come away with all three points for this fixture, then they would put themselves only one point behind Sociedad, and a point off a potential Europa League spot. 

Diego Martínez's side would need Real Madrid to defeat Athletic Bilibao, in order to move up to 8th in the La Liga table.  

A win for Imanol Alguacil's side would see them leapfrog Getafe in 6th place.

All three points for Sociedad would also put some distance between themselves and Valencia in 8th place, meaning a Europa League spot would be all but be secured for La Real. 

Real Sociedad vs Granada take place at the Anoeta Stadium in San Sebastián, Spain. 

Kick-off time is scheduled for 18:30 BST.
