How Real Madrid could line up against Getafe

Los Blancos will enter the match off the back of a 1-1 draw with Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.

The return fixture takes place in Manchester next week, so Ancelotti is expected to rest his key players this weekend, with the La Liga title all but gone.

Real Madrid are 14 points behind leaders Barcelona in the table with five games left, so the Champions League will undoubtedly be the priority and that is set to be shown by the Italian's team selection.

Ferland Mendy remains on the sidelines with a calf injury, while Dani Carvajal is suspended following his red card in the 2-0 loss to Real Sociedad in the league last time out.

Jesus Vallejo, Alvaro Odriozola, Sergio Arribas, Mariano Diaz and Eden Hazard could be given rare opportunities to impress for the Spanish and European champions this weekend.

Lucas Vazquez is certain to feature at right-back in Carvajal's absence, while Aurelien Tchouameni and Dani Ceballos are likely to be part of a midfield three.

Marco Asensio was a late substitute against Man City but is unlikely to be considered for a start in Manchester, so the Spaniard is also set to be a part of the first XI for this contest.

Real Madrid possible starting lineup: Lunin; Vazquez, Vallejo, Nacho, Odriozola; Arribas, Tchouameni, Ceballos; Asensio, Mariano, Hazard
