Real Madrid will be aiming for a fifth straight win in all competitions when they take on Deportivo Alaves at the Santiago Bernabeu in less than a few hours.

Ahead of kick-off, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has announced the starting line-up that will take to the field tonight against Luis Garcia Plaza’s men.

There have been a number of changes to the team that started against Espanyol last weekend.

For starters, Vinicius Jr. is back in the starting XI after an impressive performance off the bench last Saturday, replacing Arda Guler in the team, while both Kylian Mbappe and Rodrygo Goes retain their places in attack.

Meanwhile, Aurelien Tchouameni is back in midfield after being deployed as a centre-back in the last game. He forms a duo with Jude Bellingham, who starts despite a shoulder problem, and Federico Valverde, who has played every minute for The Blancos.

Antonio Rudiger and Ferland Mendy return to the starting line-up in defence, while Lucas Vazquez starts at right-back in the absence of Dani Carvajal and leads the team. Eder Militao and Thibaut Courtois complete the line-up.
