Official: Real Madrid starting lineup against Alaves | La Liga GW7

Real Madrid will be seeking their fifth consecutive win in all competitions when they face Deportivo Alaves at the Santiago Bernabeu in less than two hours.

Before kick-off, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti announced the starting eleven that will face Luis Garcia Plaza's men tonight.

There are several changes from the team that faced Espanyol at the weekend.

First of all, Vinicius Jr. is back in the starting line-up after an impressive performance from the bench last Saturday, replacing Arda Guler in the team, while both Kylian Mbappe and Rodrygo Goes retain their places in attack.

Meanwhile, Aurelien Tchouameni is back in midfield after playing as a centre-back in the last game, alongside Jude Bellingham, who is starting despite his shoulder problem, and Federico Valverde, who has played every minute for The Royal.

Antonio Rüdiger and Ferland Mendy return to the starting line-up in defence, while Lucas Vazquez starts at right-back in Dani Carvajal's absence and leads the team as captain. Eder Militao and Thibaut Courtois complete the line-up.
