Line-ups: Getafe-Madrid

Carlo Ancelotti sticks to his guns as he resists the temptation of rotating his squad for Real Madrid’s early kick-off at Getafe.

The Italian disputed claims his side were fatigued at his Press conference for the match, and he makes just the one enforced change, Raphael Varane replacing the injured Pepe in central defence.

Other than that, and Iker Casillas‘ return to goal, it is the same XI which drew 2-2 with Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their Copa del Rey last-16 tie on Thursday.

El Geta, meanwhile, can call upon numerous Madrid alumni, including Coach Quique Sanchez Flores, goalkeeper Jordi Codina and wingers Pedro Leon and Pedro Sarabia.

Getafe: Codina; Castro, Naldo, Velazquez, Lago; Pedro Leon, Juan Rodriguez, Alexis, Sarabia; Sammir, Vazquez

Subs: Jona, Arroyo, Escudero, Valera, Hinestroza, Yoda, Felip

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

Subs: Navas, Khedira, Chicharito, Nacho, Jese, Illarramendi, Medran

Referee: Perez Montero
