How to mock static methods of an Eloquent model?

I have in my code a line like this:

ModelName::create($data);

where ModelName is just an Eloquent model. Is there a way to mock this call inside a unit test? I tried with:

$client_mock = \Mockery::mock('Eloquent','App\Models\ModelName');
$client_mock->shouldReceive('create')
            ->with($data)->andReturns($returnValue);

but it doesn't work.
