\n

Real Madrid will welcome Getafe at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium this Monday night as they look to secure a good result at home in La Liga. Los Blancos managed to earn a solid 2-1 win over Benfica recently, which should keep them in good spirits going into this game.<\/p>\n

Alvaro Arbeloa will set his players up in a 4-3-1-2 formation and is expected to make one change to his first team for this clash. David Alaba could play from the start of this game as Raul Asencio is set to miss this game due to injury.<\/p>\n

Defence<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Thibaut Courtois will feature in between the sticks for the Madrid giants after he conceded one goal in his last outing. Antonio Rudiger will function alongside David Alaba at the heart of the Real Madrid<\/a> backline as they look to keep a solid shape on the defensive end of the pitch.<\/p>\n

Trent Alexander-Arnold will try to catch the eye as the right-back, while Alvaro Carreras fills in on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.<\/p>\n

Fran Garcia will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.<\/p>\n

Midfield<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Arbeloa could opt for a midfield three of Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga as they look to establish their dominance over the opposition at the centre of the park.<\/p>\n

Arda Guler will operate in the number ten position. He would have to carry most of the creative burden for the Madrid giants in the final third.<\/p>\n

Franco Mastantuono and Cesar Palacios will be named on the bench as they wait for their chance to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if needed.<\/p>\n

Attack<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Gonzalo Garcia and Vinicius Junior will lead the line for the Madrid outfit up top. Both of them need to combine well if they want to cause some headaches for the Getafe centre-backs this Monday night.<\/p>\n

Brahim Diaz will make up the numbers on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the latter stages of the contest if required.<\/p>\n
