How Real Madrid could line up against Espanyol

Sports Mole looks at how Real Madrid could line up in Sunday's La Liga clash with Espanyol.

Real Madrid will be looking to continue their excellent run of form when they head to La Liga's basement side Espanyol on Sunday night.

Zinedine Zidane's side have won all four of their league matches since the restart earlier this month, which has seen them move above Barcelona to the top of the table.

Madrid could be knocked off the summit by the time that they take to the field for this game as Barcelona face Celta Vigo on Saturday, but they are currently in the driving seat when it comes to the championship.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how Los Blancos could line up at the RCDE Stadium.


Out: Luka Jovic (foot), Nacho (thigh), Lucas Vazquez (calf), Luka Modric (suspension), Ferland Mendy (suspension)

Madrid will again be unable to call upon injured trio Luka Jovic, Nacho and Lucas Vazquez for Sunday's contest, but Casemiro is available, with the Brazil international serving a one-game suspension against Mallorca.

Los Blancos have lost two more players for this match, though, as the bookings that Luka Modric and Ferland Mendy picked up against Mallorca means that they are banned.

Toni Kroos could return to the starting XI alongside Casemiro and Federico Valverde in the middle of the park, while Marcelo is likely to take Mendy's spot at left-back.

Zidane has a number of decisions to make further forward, with Gareth Bale, Isco and Vinicius Junior all vying for a spot alongside Eden Hazard and Karim Benzema.

Vinicius scored during an impressive performance against Mallorca and could keep his spot in the XI, meaning that Marco Asensio might be made to wait for his first start of the season.

Zidane is certainly well-stocked in the forward positions, but Madrid do not play again after this one until Thursday night, meaning that wholesale changes are unlikely to occur.
