-------------------------------------------------------------
Celta Vigo
Iago Aspas and Ilaix Moriba are both suspended for this fixture. Jailson and Luca de la Torre are both out injured while Jonathan Bamba’s availability is doubtful. Carl Starfelt also has an injury concern, but he is expected to overcome the knock.
The home team will most likely line up in a 3-4-3 formation, where Vicente Guaita will be between the sticks. The back three will be made up of Javier Manquillo, Carl Starfelt, and Marcos Alonso.
Oscar Mingueza and Hugo Alvarez will feature as the wing-backs, while Fran Beltran should pair up with Franco Cervi in the centre of the park. Pablo Duran and Williot Swedberg will provide the width to their attack, while Borja Iglesias will continue to lead the line.
Real Madrid
Los Blancos suffered a major blow ahead of the international break as Dani Carvajal picked up a serious knee injury. He is all set to be out for the rest of the season. Thibaut Courtois is still a doubt, so Andriy Lunin could continue in goal. Brahim Diaz and David Alaba remain on the sidelines.
However, they do a major boost as Vinicius Junior and Eder Militao are expected to be fully fit for this one. Carlo Ancelotti will stick to the 4-3-3 formation. Lunin will be in goal, with Lucas Vazquez expected to be the right-back from here on. Ferland Mendy will continue on the left flank, while Antonio Rudiger should pair up with Militao in the heart of the defence.
Jude Bellingham will start alongside Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni in the centre of the park. The French international will be the defensive pillar, while the other two will have a box-to-box role. Brazilian duo Rodrygo and Vinicius will be on the flanks, while Kylian Mbappe will continue to lead the line for Real Madrid against Celta Vigo.
Celta Vigo possible starting lineup:
Guaita; Manquillo, Starfelt, Alonso; Mingueza, Beltran, Cervi, Alvarez; Duran, Iglesias, Swedberg
Real Madrid possible starting lineup:
Lunin; Vazquez, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy; Valverde, Tchouameni, Bellingham; Rodrygo, Mbappe, Vinicius

Prediction: Celta Vigo 0-2 Real Madrid
Real Madrid have found it difficult to get going on their travels this season, and Celta are a big threat in the final third of the field. Aspas's absence is a blow for the Sky Blues, though, and we are backing Ancelotti's side to pick up a much-needed three points here.
