Probable line-ups for Alavés vs Real Madrid

Alavés – Real Madrid/@RMC Sports

Deportivo Alavés and Real Madrid will face off this Sunday, December 14 at 20:00 GMT as part of matchday 16 of La Liga.

Alavés have proven to be a tough team to handle, especially at home, where they've racked up three wins from their last four outings. After suffering three defeats to FC Barcelona (3-1), Celta Vigo (0-1), and Girona (1-0), the Basque club bounced back last weekend by beating Real Sociedad 1-0.

Real Madrid have managed just one win in their last five La Liga matches and were even stunned at home by Celta Vigo (0-2) in their most recent league fixture. The Whites also suffered a Champions League defeat at home to Manchester City (1-2).

Blanco, a former Real Madrid player, returns after serving a suspension against Real Sociedad. Garces and Guridi remain sidelined.

Xabi Alonso faces a severely depleted defense with Huijsen, Militao, Alaba, Alexander-Arnold, Carvajal, Mendy, Garcia, and Carreras all unavailable. Camavinga is also out, while Mbappé remains a doubt.
