MADRID, Sept. 7 -- Spain's Liga Santander returns to action this weekend following the international break with two derbies on offer and Real Madrid looking to return to winning ways after dropping two points a fortnight ago.
There will be a little piece of football history made when the weekend kicks off in Leganes on Friday night as the home side entertain Getafe in what could be described as the 'south of Madrid derby'.
Although Leganes and Getafe have played each other in the past this will be the first time they have faced each other in the top flight and Leganes could make it nine points from three games and go top of the table if they are able to beat their neighbors.
The second derby is on Saturday night as Barcelona take on Espanyol in the Camp Nou Stadium.
The game should see the debut of Barca's record signing Ousmane Dembele, while Paulinho will probably make his home debut in a Camp Nou where the fans are angry at club President, Josep Maria Bartomeu for the failure to strengthen the squad over the summer and apparently lying after he said Andres Iniesta had agreed a new contract on Wednesday - something the player then denied on Thursday.
Real Madrid get the ball rolling with a 1pm kick off on Saturday as they entertain recently promoted Levante in the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
Madrid dropped two points at home to Valencia a fortnight ago and cannot afford to drop any more this early in the season against a side who have looked solid on their return to the Liga Santander.
