With Real Madrid set to lock horns with Cadiz in a little while, manager Carlo Ancelotti has announced the starting lineup that will be taking the field today at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The Belgian replaces Andriy Lunin in goal and will be shielded by the pairing of Eder Militao and Nacho Fernandez. Dani Carvajal and Fran Garcia slot in as the two full-backs.

Meanwhile, Dani Ceballos has received another rare starting opportunity in midfield, where he will be partnered by Luka Modric and Eduardo Camavinga.

The likes of Toni Kroos, Fede Valverde, and Aurelien Tchouameni have been rested by the manager.

Up top, Brahim Diaz starts for Real Madrid, partnering centre-forward Joselu, and Arda Guler, who makes his first-ever start at the Santiago Bernabeu.
