A new leader again after the midweek round of matches, Osasuna's Sanzol moving into top spot after his side's late 0-1 win at Espanyol takes them back into the dizzy heights of the Champions' League spots. Sanzol's form is one of the reasons the team are riding so high, and he moves above Molina and Cañizares in what is increasingly looking like a three horse race for the Zamora title.

Six clean sheets in all this time around, with Cañizares finally stopping the rot after letting in two in each of the three previous matches, Valencia coming away from Westerveld's Real Sociedad with a well earned 0-0 draw. Casillas moves up to fourth in table after Real Madrid won the capital derby 2-0, and Leo Franco (Mallorca) and Esteban (Sevilla) both kept their goals against column to zero as their sides recorded valuable away wins.
