Real Madrid will clash heads with Celta Vigo at the Estadio de Balaidos on Friday night as they look to secure a good result in La Liga. Los Blancos suffered a tough 1-0 loss at the hands of Getafe recently, so they will be eager to bounce back by earning a win this week.
Alvaro Arbeloa will opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make a few changes to his first team for this game. Raul Asencio, Fran Garcia and Eduardo Camavinga could all play from the start of this clash.
Thibaut Courtois will operate in between the sticks for the Madrid giants after he conceded one goal in his last outing. Raul Asencio will function alongside Antonio Rudiger at the heart of the Real Madrid backline as they look to keep a good shape when defending inside their half.
Trent Alexander-Arnold should keep his spot at right-back, while Fran Garcia hopes to give a good account of himself on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will have to try to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent’s half at every chance they can get.
Ferland Mendy and Dani Carvajal will provide cover for the full-back positions on the bench.

Eduardo Camavinga will Aurelien Tchouameni will anchor the midfield for Los Blancos as they focus on winning the 50-50 battles at the centre of the park.
The gifted trio of Vinicius Junior, Arda Guler and Federico Valverde will operate just ahead of them as part of the Real Madrid attack. All three of them need to be at their best if the Madrid giants are to come out on top this Friday night.
Franco Mastantuono and Brahim Diaz will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if needed.
Gonzalo Garcia will spearhead Arbeloa’s attack up top. He has to find a way to be a real threat in the final third.
Rodrygo will be named on the bench as he waits for his chance to shine in the latter stages of the contest if Los Blancos are in need of a goal by then.
