Real Madrid experienced some notable changes to their squad over the summer, seeing Toni Kroos retire from professional football before unveiling Kylian Mbappe and Endrick as their star signings.

Mbappe began his Real Madrid with a goal in the UEFA Super Cup win against Atalanta BC, but he has been unable to find the net in his first two La Liga outings.

Los Blancos began their league campaign with a frustrating 1-1 away draw against Mallorca, before they produced a strong second-half performance to cruise to a 3-0 home win over newly-promoted Real Valladolid.

Federico Valverde and Brahim Diaz grabbed a goal apiece to lay the foundations for Endrick to come off the bench to add a third, making the 18-year-old the youngest Real Madrid player to score on his La Liga debut in the 21st century.

As a result of that commanding victory, Carlo Ancelotti's side have now avoided defeat in 34 top-flight matches since losing to city rivals Atletico Madrid in September 2023.

Real Madrid will now travel to Gran Canaria with aspirations of claiming their first away win of the season, and they will fancy their chances of claiming all three points after winning their previous four meetings with Las Palmas, including a 2-1 victory in January's away fixture.

Las Palmas are under new management this season after Garcia Pimienta ended his two-and-a-half stay to take over the reins at Sevilla.

Luis Carrion was subsequently appointed as Pimienta's successor, taking on the role after going agonisingly close to guiding Real Oviedo to success in the Segunda Division playoffs last season.

Oviedo's La Liga dreams may have been ended by a playoff final defeat to Espanyol, but Carrion has been given the opportunity to showcase his managerial credentials in the top flight for the first time in his coaching career.

Unfortunately for Carrion, life as a La Liga manager has got off to an underwhelming start, having seen his side take just one point from their first two matches.

They played out a 2-2 home draw in their league opener, before they fell to a 2-1 loss in Sunday's away clash with Leganes, extending their winless La Liga run to 16 matches.

Las Palmas may find it difficult to claim their first La Liga win since February in Thursday's meeting with the reigning European champions, but they will be hoping to take a point off Los Blancos for the first time since playing out a 3-3 draw in March 2017.
