Real Sociedad will be hoping to end a run of three straight defeats in La Liga when they host in-form Real Betis on Sunday.

La Real boss Eusebio Sacristan on his side arresting their poor run: “You keep thinking about trying to improve when there are no positive results.

“I’ve reflected on things, but my conclusion is the same as always: to try to improve on what we’re very good at.

“To change things would put what we’ve done in doubt, and there’s no such doubt for me because our path is a very good one and the players are convinced that it’s the best one to follow.”

Betis boss Quique Setien on his approach to squad management: “I’ve told you [reporters] in jest that I’ll drop the first person who sneezes, even just a bit.

“Still, it’s not easy to do that because everyone’s very enthusiastic about doing well in training.”
