Line-ups: Granada-Madrid

Pepe and Luka Modric are fit to start for Real Madrid against Granada having previously been named as doubts by Coach Carlo Ancelotti.

Pepe partners Sergio Ramos in the centre of the Madrid defence with Iker Casillas in goal and Dani Carvajal and Marcelo at right and left-back respectively.

Modric is joined in midfield by Toni Kroos, with James Rodriguez and Isco on either flank and Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema in attack.
