Squad Updates:
This will be the Forty sixth game of the season and Real have been very inconsistent in the matches and the results, they have had 27 wins, 10 Draws and 8 losses. In the last few games the performance has been poor especially in attack and with this ailing team it is not making it any easier.
Chelsea are a good side and are good in attack and defense, so Real will need to be careful in all departments and be ready for their counters.
In the goal Courtois will start, he has been in a good form. He has supported the defense very well but has not received the same from the team and with so many changes owing to injuries.
Mendy should start on the left. As Ramos is out injured, Militao and Varane should start. Carvajal is now back and will start. So Mendy, Varane, Militao and Carvajal should start. Nachi, Odriozola, Marcelo and Chust should be available as substitutes.
Modric and Kroos have been injured but have been exceptional and both should return. So, Kroos and Modric should start. So Casemiro, Modric and Kroos should be available and start. Isco, Arribas and Blanco should start from the bench.
The forwards have been poor all season except last game, Hazard is possibly back but might not start and Vinicius should start on the left, being good in the last three games. And Benzema should start upfront and Asensio on the right. Rodrygo, Mariano and Hazard should start from the Bench.
As there are 5 substitutions available, ZZ should think for more rotations in the second half especially taking into consideration the team's fatigue and injuries.
The probable substitutions will be:
Vinicius > Hazard
Modric > Blanco
Asensio > Rodrygo
Kroos > Isco
Mendy > Marcelo
So the formation would be 4 3 3.
The most probable kit to be used for the game will be the home kit!!!
So the final starting 11 will be:
Mendy expected to be away
Mendy OUT <> Nacho IN
