Real Sociedad will look to make it five wins from five in the UEFA Europa League when they take on Omonia Nicosia at the Tsirion Athlítiko Kentro Stadium on Thursday (October 27).
La Real are atop Group E with 12 points from four games, having maintained their 100% start to their campaign. The La Liga outfit have secured their place in the knockoutd but need to keep producing wins to qualify directly for the Round of 16.
Manchester United are just three points behind in the standings. So Sociedad's slip-up could give the English team a chance to trim the gap or even surpass them on goal difference.
The top two are set to meet on the final matchday at the Anoeta in what's shaping up to be the decider to determine who goes through as group winners. Omonia, meanwhile, are languishing at the bottom of the group with zero points in four games, having lost all their games thus far.
The Cypriot outfit are coming off five straight losses across competitions, scoring only twice - in a 3-2 defeat to United at the start of the month. Sociedad stumbled to a 1-0 reverse at Real Valladolid in La Liga action at the weekend.
