Midfield

Aurelian Tchouameni and Federico Valverde will anchor the midfield for Los Blancos as they look to win the 50-50 battles at the centre of the park.

The talented trio of Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham and Arda Guler will play just ahead of them as part of the Real Madrid attack. All three of them need to be at their best if Los Blancos are to secure a convincing win in midweek.

Thiago Pitarch Pinar, Franco Mastantuono and Dani Ceballos will have to be content with a place on the bench as they wait for their chance to shine in the second 45 minutes if needed.

Attack

Kylian Mbappe will lead the line for Los Blancos in the final third. He would be eager to get his name on the scoresheet versus Alaves this week.

Gonzalo Garcia will have to be content with a place on the bench and might come on to influence the game if Los Blancos are in need of a goal by then.
