Real Madrid will look to turn the Copa del Rey tie against Atletico around as they face their city rivals at the Santiago Bernabeu one week after losing 2-0 at the Vicente Calderon.
Los Blancos face a tough task against one of the most solid teams in La Liga. As a matter of fact, Real have lost their last three games against Los Colchoneros.
Carlo Ancelotti will only miss Alvaro Arbeloa with a muscle injury, apart from the long-term injured Luka Modric. Sergio Ramos will return to the squad after resting last weekend in La Liga. The Italian manager will also recover Daniel Carvajal, who missed the last game through suspension.
Thus, Carletto will display his usual starting eleven, with the exception of Keylor Navas, who has been chosen as the starting goalkeeper for the Copa del Rey.
Diego Simeone will also use the reserve goalkeeper for this match, and he’s also expected two rest a couple of the players who have played more minutes this season. Diego Godin and Gabi could be replaced by Joao Miranda and Mario Suarez.
Mario Mandzukic is the only doubt for Atletico having suffered from fever on Wednesday. Fernando Torres could take his spot in the starting eleven, just like he did in the home leg.
Possible line-ups:
Real Madrid: Navas; Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo; Bale, Isco, Kroos, James Rodriguez; Benzema, Ronaldo.
Atletico Madrid: Oblak; Juanfran, Gimenez, Miranda, Lucas; Raul Garcia, Tiago, Mario, Koke; Torres, Griezmann.
