\n

Real Madrid will entertain Elche at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium this Saturday night as they hope to secure a good result at home in La Liga. Los Blancos managed to earn an impressive 3-0 win over Manchester City 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 a few changes to his first team. Dani Carvajal, Fran Garcia and Gonzalo Garcia could all play from the start of this clash.<\/p>\n

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

Thibaut Courtois will feature in between the sticks for the Madrid giants after he kept a clean sheet in his last outing. Antonio Rudiger will operate alongside Raul Asencio at the centre of the Real Madrid backline as they hope to keep a solid shape on the defensive end of the field.<\/p>\n

Dani Carvajal will try to prove his worth as the right-back, while Fran Garcia looks to prove his worth on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the freedom to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent\u2019s half.<\/p>\n

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen will be named on the bench as they offer cover for the defensive positions.<\/p>\n

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

Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga and Federico Valverde will make up Real Madrid<\/a>\u2018s midfield. All three of them need to retain possession well at the centre of the park if they want to create some decent chances for their teammates up top.<\/p>\n

Arda Guler will play just ahead of them in the number ten position. He would have to carry most of the creative burden for Los Blancos in the final third.<\/p>\n

Franco Mastantuono and Thiago Pitarch Pinar will make up the numbers on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if required.<\/p>\n

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

Vinicius Junior and Gonzalo Garcia will lead the charge for the Madrid giants up top. Both of them need to combine well if the Madrid giants are to earn a convincing win this weekend.<\/p>\n

Brahim Diaz will have to be content with a spot on the bench as he waits for his chance to influence the game in the final quarter if needed.<\/p>\n
