Real's first away win since Ipurua: Real Madrid's victory over Granada on Sunday was their first on the road since beating Eibar on 29 November. Since then, their away trips had seen them post two draws (2-2 with Valencia and 1-1 against Real Betis) and a defeat (1-0 to Villarreal).

Zizou level pegging with Benítez: Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has registered four wins, one draw, 19 goals for and three against in his first five matches in charge, while Rafa Benítez's record read four wins, one draw, 16 for and none against.

Half century of meetings: Granada and Real Madrid have now faced each other in 50 competitive fixtures in history, with 33 victories for Los Blancos, ten draws and seven triumphs for the Andalusians.

Fernández on 46 goals conceded: Granada goalkeeper Andrés Fernández has picked the ball out of the net more than any other custodian in Primera División this season, having let in 46 in 23 league appearances so far (an average of two per game).
