The big games are coming thick and fast, so rotation will be important for head coach Carlo Ancelotti.

Jude Bellingham is suspended for the game after picking up a red card against Osasuna, with Luka Modric taking his place in the starting lineup. Brahim Diaz also starts in midfield alongside Aurelien Tchouameni.

Lucas Vazquez came back into the starting XI at right-back after missing the last few games through injury. David Alaba stars alongside Raul Asencio, with Antonio Rudiger on the bench. Ferland Mendy starts at left-back.
