Real Sociedad will provide a stern test after a strong start to the campaign – albeit recent outings haven’t gone their way – with the side lurking only seven points back from Real Madrid in third place themselves.

Here’s how Ancelotti could line his side up.

David Alaba

Thibaut Courtois (GK) – The best goalkeeper in La Liga, constantly coming to the aid of his side at big moments.

Dani Carvajal (RB) – His influence within games has dipped in recent matches and he will be keen to get back to his best at the Anoeta.

Eder Militao (CB) – A commanding presence at the heart of the Real Madrid backline.

David Alaba (CB) – Proved solid defensively, while his marauding runs from deep have caused opponents headaches.

Ferland Mendy (LB) – The Frenchman is going from strength to strength this season at full back.

Casemiro

Casemiro (CM) – Plays with immense enthusiasm on the pitch, often to his and Real Madrid’s benefit.

Toni Kroos (CM) – His ability to switch the direction of the attack with one pass is key for Real Madrid.

Luka Modric (CM) – Usually tasked with linking the midfield to the attack, and few opposition midfielders are able to get close to him.

Vinicius Junior

Karim Benzema (ST) – Enjoying a extraordinary season on both the creative and goalscoring front in La Liga.
