Carlo Ancelotti made a few tactical changes for the Madrid derby. But they did not really work out well for him. As a result, he is expected to return to the 4-4-2 formation with a diamond in the centre of the park. Kepa Arrizabalaga will continue in goal.
Lucas Vazquez and Fran Garcia will continue as the full-backs. Once again, it will be Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba in the heart of the defence.
Eduardo Camavinga will feature as the defensive midfielder in the centre of the park. Federico Valverde and Luka Modric will be on either side of the French international.
Jude Bellingham will continue as an attacking midfielder behind the two forwards. Finally, Brahim Diaz might get a start here alongside Brazilian sensation Rodrygo Goes, with Joselu finding himself on the bench again.
