--------------------------------------------------------------
Real Sociedad
The home team will be without the services of Hamari Traore and Brais Mendez. Meanwhile, the availability of Martin Merquelanz, Aihen Munoz, and Carlos Fernandez is a major doubt. They do have a boost as Martin Zubimendi and Igor Zubeldia are back available after serving a suspension last time out.
Real Sociedad will stick to the 4-3-3 formation, where Alex Remiro will be in goal. Alvaro Odriozola and Javi Galan will feature as the full-backs for the home team, while Igor Zubeldia and Robin Le Normand will feature as the centre-back pairing.
The back four will look for a clean sheet against the best attack in the division. They will have some support from Martin Zubimendi who will be the defensive midfielder. He will have Mikel Merino and Benat Turrientes in his support in the centre of the park.
The trio will look to ensure Madrid do not end up dictating the pace of the game. Takefusa Kubo and Ander Barrenetxea will feature on the flanks, they will provide width to their attacks, while Mikel Oyarzabal will be leading the line for the home team.
Real Madrid
The visitors will be without the services of David Alaba and Thibaut Courtois, who are out injured. Ferland Mendy who is struggling with a muscular problem is unlikely to be involved in this fixture.
Carlo Ancelotti will look to rest Mendy along with a few other important players for the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich. It will be the 4-4-2 formation, where Andriy Lunin will continue in goal.
Dani Carvajal and Fran Garcia could be full-backs for this fixture. We could see Eder Militao get his first start in the heart of the defence since his return from injury. The Brazilian could pair up with Nacho.
Aurelien Tchouameni should be the defensive midfielder, and he should have the support of Luka Modric and Eduardo Camavinga in the midfielder. Federico Valverde and Toni Kroos are expected to be rested here.
Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham could still feature in this fixture from the start. But in attack, we could see a few changes with Joselu and Brahim Diaz featuring up top. Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo could both be on the bench.
Real Sociedad possible starting lineup:
Remiro; Odriozola, Le Normand, Zubeldia, Galan; Benat, Zubimendi, Merino; Kubo, Oyarzabal, Barrenetxea
Real Madrid possible starting lineup:
Lunin; Carvajal, Militao, Nacho, F Garcia; Modric, Tchouameni, Camavinga; Diaz; Vinicius, Joselu
