Squad Updates:

This is a title deciding match for Real Madrid, Real has a margin of just 4 points and there are 3 games in hand, it could get tricky for both teams. Real has to be very cautious in selecting the team, more so with several injuries and fatigue setting in for some players. They will try to get all the 3 points at any cost.

In the goal Courtois will start, he has been in a good form and needs to keep the same going.

Ramos and Carvajal will be back after the suspension but Marcelo misses out due to injury. So Ramos and Varane will start as the center backs. Mendy would start on the left and Carvajal on the right. So Mendy, Varane, Ramos and Carvajal should start. Defence has been in fine form but there were few errors which were not taken full advantage of in the past few games. So, the defence will have to be very careful.

All the mid-fielders are available now but James might opt out to play like last few games. Modric was really good in the last game. So it is going to be Kroos, Casemiro and Modric in the middle. Valverde and Isco will be on the bench and will come handy in the second half. With matches coming thick and fast these substitutions will play a key role in maintaining the fitness of the team and avoiding fatigue.

The forwards have been in good shape but still did not convert many chances except in the last game, it is going to be a difficult decision for ZZ. Asensio and Rodrygo played well, Hazard came back from injury and played for some minutes, but ZZ will not start him as a caution. Vinicius got his short break and should start on the left. So Vinicius, Benzema and Asensio should start, and Jovic, Mariano, Bale, Hazard, Lucas Vazquez and Rodrygo should be on the bench.

As there are 5 substitutions available, ZZ should think for more rotations in the second half.

The probable substitutions will be:

Asensio > Rodrygo/Lucas Vazquez

Vinicius > Hazard

Modric > Valverde

Kroos > Isco

Benzema > Mariano/Bale/Jovic

So the formation would be 4 3 3.

So the final starting 11 will be:
