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.
