Real Madrid will square off against Juventus in Miami tonight for a spot in the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup.
Having made it through to the Round of 16 as winners of Group H, Los Blancos avoided a match-up against Manchester City and will be gunning to pick up their third win under new manager Xabi Alonso.
With kickoff in 90 minutes, Alonso has announced the Real Madrid starting lineup that will face Juventus.
As expected, the Real Madrid boss has once again opted to start Antonio Rudiger alongside Dean Huijsen in defence despite Raul Asencio being back after serving his one-match suspension.
Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappe is back but only on the bench and as such, the attacking unit once again comprises of Vinicius Jr. and Gonzalo Garcia.
Jude Bellingham, Arda Guler, Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni form the midfield unit, although the Frenchman could drop back into the defence to form a three-man backline.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Fran Garcia are the two full-backs while Thibaut Courtois features in goal.
Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao have both fully recovered from their ACL injuries and are on the bench.
