Elche

Real Madrid
- Pablo Piatti will likely miss out with his knee injury, though he is nearing a return.
- Elche could move to a back five here as they look to sure up defensively having struggled for form of late.
- That could see Antonio Barragan come in as a centre-back, alongside Pedro Bigas and Gonzalo Verdu.
- Dani Ceballos and Gareth Bale remain out for the foreseeable future, but Dani Carvajal is back and could well start here,
- Fede Valverde remains out until at least next week, while Isco has also been ruled out. Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed Luka Modric is back after skipping their last game with fatigue.
- Eduardo Camavinga could keep his place after looking lively last time out.
Good game all round, 3 points pity about the clean sheet.
