"Starting with the hosts, while Real Madrid might have only got a new era underway over the summer following Xabi Alonso's arrival in the Spanish capital, Los Blancos are clearly enjoying life under the former Bayer Leverkusen boss. Last seen over the weekend collecting a gritty 1-0 victory away at local foes Getafe, they have skyrocketed their way to the top of the La Liga standings."
"Making a full return against Getafe over the weekend, England ace Jude Bellingham should keep his spot from the start. Bagging the winner on Sunday and now remarkably finding the net in all of his previous 11 consecutive appearances for club and country, French skipper Kylian Mbappe will lead the line in midweek. Although new arrival Dean Huijsen might have missed out over the weekend, the former Bournemouth defender could feature on Wednesday night."
Real Madrid will host Juventus at the Bernabeu in a Champions League fixture. Real Madrid are enjoying a strong start under Xabi Alonso, topping La Liga and recording a 5-0 Champions League win at Kairat Almaty. Los Blancos have won ten of their appearances so far and maintain a strong scoring run. Several defenders—Antonio Rudiger, Ferland Mendy, Dani Carvajal and Trent Alexander-Arnold—are sidelined with muscle injuries. Jude Bellingham returned to start, Kylian Mbappe has scored in 11 consecutive appearances and will lead the attack. Juventus began the Serie A season with three wins but have since suffered a downturn.
