Line-ups: Las Palmas-Madrid

Injuries force Real Madrid to shuffle their pack against Las Palmas this evening, although the newly-fit Keylor Navas does not walk back into goal.

Zinedine Zidane makes five changes to the Madrid side that drew 1-1 with Villarreal midweek as Marcelo’s calf knock is covered by Nacho Fernandez, while Dani Carvajal is in for Danilo.

James Rodriguez’s inability to spark Los Blancos into life against the Yellow Submarine sees him lose out to Marco Asensio in midfield, while Mateo Kovacic makes way for countryman Luka Modric.

As for BBC, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale continue out wide, but a change in the middle sees Alvaro Morata preferred to Karim Benzema.

Zizou’s opposite number Quique Setien, meanwhile, has made it clear that he will not stand for another performance like the one given by Las Palmas in Wednesday’s 4-1 defeat to Real Sociedad, bringing in seven new faces.
