Teenager Borja Mayoral starts in attack as Real Madrid go to La Liga’s bottom side Levante.
Zinedine Zidane is without Karim Benzema through injury and Mayoral, prolific in the Madrid youth ranks and a half time replacement for Benzema in the Madrid derby defeat, makes his first start in the Frenchman’s place.
Luka Modric is also out through injury so Casemiro gets a recall and Gareth Bale isn’t ready to play, which means it is Lucas Vazquez on the wing.
Sergio Ramos and Dani Carvajal are both suspended so in come Pepe and Nacho, with Keylor Navas continuing in goal and Danilo and Raphael Varane rounding out the back four.
Toni Kroos joins Casemiro in midfield with James Rodriguez also starting, and Cristiano Ronaldo makes it as well.
Levante meanwhile make two changes from the side heavily beaten by Villarreal, Ivan Lopez and Lucas Orban coming in for Tono and Joan Verdu.
That means Deyverson and Giuseppe Rossi continue in attack for Rubi’s relegation-threatened charges.
