Real Sociedad will be looking secure what will be their third consecutive home win in the Spanish top flight when they host Bilbao this weekend.
The hosts had a disappointing start to their 2023-24 La Liga season, with Imanol Alguacil's side picking up just three points from their opening three league games. However, they have improved greatly in recent matches. The White and Blues claimed three wins from their last four league games and will be looking to add another win at home this weekend.
Athletic Bilbao meanwhile are looking to do everything right this season after narrowly missing out on the European places in the last two seasons. The visitors finished just one place below the European places in each of their last two league games, but at the moment they are in the top four. Ernesto Valverde's men are one of three teams still unbeaten away from home this season, and enter this game with a six game unbeaten run.

Real Sociedad team news
Real Sociedad coach Imanol Alguacil is not expected to make any major changes to the team that was in the starting eleven for the win at Valencia in midweek.
Carlos Fernández scored his first goal of the season in that game and the Spanish professional will again join Mohamed-Ali Cho and Mikel Oyarzabal in the final third, while Álvaro Odriozola will hope to feature in defence.
André Silva – who is on loan from RB Leipzig – has recovered from his thigh injury but is unlikely to feature in the starting eleven yet.

Athletic Bilbao team news
Athletic Bilbao will have to do without Oihan Sancet, who picked up a red card in the last draw against Getafe.
The midfielder's absence means that either Dani García or Raúl García will start in midfield this weekend, while Yeray Álvarez will hope for a call-up in defence after impressing from the bench last time out.
Peru Nolaskoain (knee), Nico Williams (muscle) and Iñigo Ruiz de Galarreta (calf) will not be available on Saturday due to injuries.
