Levante vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Levante away from home in the La liga match day 25. Levante are 13th on the leader-board and Real are top of the league. After the lost chance of maintaining the 3 point gap against Celta and with just 1 point separating them and Barcelona, Madrid has to go full throttle and is not going to take any risks this time.

Overall form looks good away from home for Real

Looking at the

Injury list:

Asensio
Mariano

Only Asensio is injured. And he has not been practicing with the team. He has started individual workouts now. We hope his recovery is faster and soon he starts playing with the team.

Suspended:

None, Mendy has 4 yellows and has a risk of suspension.

Just recovered:

None

Practiced:

Asensio is on his recovery process. Mariano and James are not with the team. Others are practicing with the team.

Skipped Practice:

None

Coach Comments:

Marcelo is not to be blamed for the defensive worries.

Other Comments:

Marcelo might play again as Mendy needs to play the next game in La liga vs Barcelona and is on 4 yellow cards.

Squad Updates:

This is a crucial game for the La liga title race, with only 1 point separating the top two.

In the goal Courtois will start, he was not great last game but he did not get any support from the defence, and was left open due to lapses. Though he had several good games in the past, things look definitely positive for Courtois and Real Madrid.

Ramos and Varane will start as the center backs. Marcelo will start on the left and will provide rest to Mendy and option to be available for the el clasico and Carvajal will start on the right. So Marcelo, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal should start. Defence has been in good form but occasional switching off has led to several goals and from now on they will try to avoid any errors leading to such goals.

All the five mid-fielders are available but it's been a poor outing in the past few games in terms of controlling the game. It is a very difficult decision for ZZ whom to pick. One game Isco was great and Kroos was rested, now against Celta Kroos scored and Isco was rested and Modric played few unproductive minutes, there has been lack of any consistency. But taking the past game's rigor and current fitness level into considerations it is going to be Modric, Casemiro and Isco in the middle. Kroos and Valverde will be on the bench and should be seen as options vs Manchester City.

As Asensio has been injured and Hazard has now recovered, Hazard will start on the left. After having several blanks for Benzema, he will have to start and start firing soon. Hazard, Benzema, and Lucas Vazquez will start. And Vinicius and James should be on the bench.

So the formation would be 4 3 3, with Lucas Vazquez and Hazard on the wings behind Benzema.

So the final starting 11 will be:
