Straight
Villarreal and Real Madrid face each other this Saturday (4:15 p.m. Movistar LaLiga) at the Estadio de la Cerámica.
Ancelotti's men, who come from going through a lot of trouble to beat Cacereño from Segunda RFEF in the Cup, have a good opportunity this day to snatch the lead from Barcelona.
The coach has chosen an eleven with the heavyweights on the field, with Vinicius, Benzema and Valverde in attack, and the only novelty in Militao on the right side.
The whites are looking for a win this afternoon, which would make them sleep leaders and put pressure on a Barcelona that visits Atlético de Madrid tomorrow.
Of course, the Villarreal stadium is not good for Madrid, who has not won there since the 2016-2017 season, when he did so thanks to a decisive goal from Morata.
The yellows have improved their performance in recent games and have just beaten Cartagena (1-5) in the Cup and Valencia (2-1) in the League.
Quique Setién had a hard time in the first games after replacing Unai Emery, but little by little he has been hitting the key.
The whites will have Carvajal out due to injury.
