Line-ups: Madrid-Sevilla

Alvaro Arbeloa and Sami Khedira are given rare opportunities to impress as Real Madrid entertain Sevilla in La Liga tonight.

The experienced full-back and Germany midfielder – both linked with moves away at the end of the season – come into the fold, replacing Dani Carvajal and Asier Illarramendi respectively.

Elsewhere, Coach Carlo Ancelotti sticks with the 4-4-2 formation used during Saturday’s 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad, meaning Gareth Bale is likely to keep his place alongside Karim Benzema in attack.

Sevilla, meanwhile, make four changes from the side which beat Espanyol 3-2 in the Copa del Rey last week, with usual suspects Grzegorz Krychowiak, Stephane Mbia, Carlos Bacca and Gerard Deulofeu all returning.

Real Madrid: Casillas; Arbeloa, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo; James, Kroos, Khedira, Isco; Benzema, Bale

Subs: Navas, Chicharito, Carvajal, Lucas Silva, Nacho, Jese, Illarramendi

Sevilla: Beto; Figueiras, Carrico, Kolo, Navarro; Krychowiak, Iborra, Mbia; Deulofeu, Bacca, Vitolo

Subs: Rico; Coke, Arribas; Vidal, Suarez, Aspas, Munoz

Referee: Iglesias Villanueva
