Hello everyone and welcome in to this LaLiga Santander live blog for Cadiz vs Real Madrid. Although Real Madrid have already secured the title, their opponents Cadiz have it all to play for as they are only just hovering above the relegation zone, so it should be a fascinating game.

Carlo Ancelotti has promised rotations and Thibaut Courtois, Vinicius and Karim Benzema haven't even travelled south for the game, while Luka Modric and David Alaba are missing with suspension and injury respectively.

Cadiz, meanwhile, have only a few minor injuries, so Sergio Gonzalez will be able to put out close to a full-strength line-up.

Earlier in the season, Cadiz managed to hold on at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu for a goalless draw and now they'll hope to take at least a point when they host Real Madrid, in what is their final home fixture of the campaign.
