Bellingham, Valverde to start: Real Madrid predicted lineup against Las Palmas | OneFootball

Real Madrid return to La Liga action as they take on a Las Palmas side capable of causing an upset at the Santiago Bernabeu.

David Alaba returns to the squad and along with the Austrian, Arda Güler and Endrick are expected to receive minutes tonight.

Aurelien Tchouaméni is ruled out of this fixture as he suffered from discomfort in his left leg.

Here is how Real Madrid can lineup against Las Palmas.

GK: Thibaut Courtois

Will be returning to the side after not being called up against Celta Vigo. Has kept just 6 clean sheets in 16 league starts this season but the Belgian will be eager to turn the tide in the second half of the season.

Another day, another start for the Spaniard. No other option besides him. Did decently against Vigo and would want to carry on his form.

Had an outstanding game apart from the reckless foul which caused the penalty. Seems to have regained Carlo Ancelotti’s trust and will hope to extend his purple patch.

CB: Antonio Rüdiger

The senior most defender and has been a mainstay in this squad. Him and Asencio have looked really solid at times but sometimes even vulnerable. No complains for now though.

Has improved defensively and already was an intelligent player going forward. Decision making is questionable at times but will hope to change that.

CM: Dani Ceballos

Will keep his place in the starting lineup with fellow teammate Tchouameni being ruled out of the fixture. Recorded an assist in the last match and has been a rather unexpected standout performer this season.

CM: Fede Valverde

After resting for a good chunk of the semi final,  the Uruguayan came on, scored a banger and led his team to a victory.

CM: Jude Bellingham

Should not have been brought on in the previous match but they were grave circumstances. The Englishman had a poor outing against FC Barcelona and will be eager to regain his earlier form.

Had an assist to his name in the last match. Always has been up to the task whether as a starter or while coming off the bench. Would want to be involved on the attacking front again.

ST: Kylian Mbappe

Looks a completely different player as compared to what was seen in the earlier part of the season. Needs to add to his goal scoring tally which will lead Madrid to more victories.

Fairly familiar of starting on the left wing in his counter part, Vinicius’ absence. Will play an important role in tonight’s match as he covers a crucial position.
