Real Madrid host Alavés in a rare midweek game. Los Blancos have little to play for but that’s not the case for Alavés, who are fighting to avoid relegation. Arbeloa will still deploy a strong starting lineup given that this is the first home game after being eliminated by Bayern.
Real Madrid predicted XI: Lunin, Carvajal, Militao, Huijsen, Mendy, Tchouameni, Valverde, Güler, Bellingham, Vinicius, Mbappé.
Alavés predicted XI: Sivera, Pérez, Otto, Tenaglia, Parada, Yusi, Blanco, Guridi, Ibañez, Martinez, Boyé.
Mendy could get another chance to start, while Carvajal will probably feature as well.
