Other Comments:

Squad Updates:

This is a crucial game for the Copa del Rey title race.

In the goal Areola will start and provide rest to Courtois, he too had some good games in the past, things look definitely very positive for Areola and Real Madrid.

Ramos and Varane will start as the center backs. Marcelo will start on the left and Carvajal will start on the right.So Marcelo, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal should start. Defence has been in good form and is expected to prevent the occasional errors those have led to the goals in the past games.

All the five super mid-fielders are doing great, Modric, Kroos, Valverde, Isco and Casemiro. It is a very difficult decision for ZZ. Taking the past game's rigor and current fitness level into considerations it is going to be Valverde, Modric and Kroos in the middle. Isco and James will be on the bench.

As Asensio has been injured and the attacking needs to be in order after several injuries, Benzema, Rodrygo and Vinicius should start. And Brahim, Jovic and Lucas Vazquez should be on the bench. Hazard should get some time during the 2nd half after his recovery.

So the formation would be 4 3 3, with Rodrygo and Vinicius on the flanks and switching during the game.

So the final starting 11 will be:

Update: Vinicius replaces Bale in the starting 11, Nacho comes in for Carvajal and Casemiro is replaced by Modric.
