Line-ups: Malaga-Madrid

Real Madrid recall Marcelo, Sergio Ramos and Dani Carvajal for tonight's trip to Malaga in La Liga.

The defensive trio were rested during Los Blancos' 1-0 victory over Basel in the Champions League midweek, but they regain their places in the starting line-up at La Rosaleda.

Madrid come into tonight's match knowing that another three points would not just impact on their lead atop the League table but also see them secure a record-breaking 16th straight win.

Malaga, meanwhile, had their four-game winning streak ended by Atletico Madrid last week in a 3-1 defeat at the Vicente Calderon.

Their record against Atleti's bitter rivals doesn't make for promising reading either, as they have beaten Carlo Ancelotti's side just once in 13 home meetings.

Malaga: Kameni; Rosales, Sanchez, Weligton, Antunes; Recio, Darder; Samuel, Duda, Castillejo; Santa Cruz

Subs: Ochoa, Angeleri, Boka, Juanpi, Luis Alberto, Rescaldani, Horta

Real Madrid: Casillas; Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo; Isco, Kroos, James, Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo

Subs: Navas, Coentrao, Llorente, Nacho, Varane, Illarramendi, Chicharito

Referee: Inaki Bikando Garrido
