Squad Updates:

This is a crucial game for the league title as with 3 points gap it is still under sight, it can not get wider if we need to wait for Barcelona's mistakes.

In the goal Courtois will start, should be a no-brainer.

Ramos and Varane will start as the center backs. Mendy will start on the left and will provide better defensive option and Carvajal will start on the right. So Mendy, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal should start. Defence has to be particularly alert, there has been occasional lapses causing goals.

All the mid-fielders except Isco are available but all are not dependable on most days, too much problem in consistency. It is a very difficult decision for ZZ to pick the three. There has been lack of any consistency in the last few games but looking at the next game, it is going to be Modric, Casemiro and Kroos in the middle. Valverde and James will be on the bench. With matches coming thick and fast these substitutions will be key to fitness.

As Asensio and Hazard have returned in great shape, all are available now. So it should also be a tough decision. Ideally it should be HBR again, Hazard, Benzema and Rodrygo. And Bale, Vinicius and Asensio should be on the bench.

As now 5 substitutions are available, this is a great time to rotate the squad for ZZ.

The probable substitutions will be:

Rodrygo > Asensio

Hazard > Vinicius

Mendy > Marcelo

Modric > Valverde

Kroos > James

Benzema > Bale

Ramos > Militao

So the formation would be 4 3 3.

So the final starting 11 will be:
