Line-ups: Madrid-Eibar

Real Madrid ring the changes for this afternoon’s visit of Eibar in La Liga, although Cristiano Ronaldo continues to lead the line.

The alterations begin in goal, where Kiko Casilla replaces Keylor Navas, while there are rare starts at the back for Nacho Fernandez and Alvaro Arbeloa, with Dani Carvajal also coming in.

The midfield is also overhauled as James Rodriguez and Isco are given opportunities to prove their quality in the middle of the park, along with Lucas Vazquez and Jese Rodriguez further forward.

Madrid are on a five-match winning run in La Liga, despite their 2-0 defeat to Wolfsburg in the Champions League midweek, but must make it six against an Eibar side without a victory since February to have any chance of making last weekend’s Clasico triumph count in the title race.
