Sports Mole looks at how Real Madrid could line up in Saturday's La Liga clash with Real Sociedad.

Real Madrid will again be without the services of Dani Ceballos and Gareth Bale for Saturday's La Liga contest with Real Sociedad.

Both Ceballos and Bale were absent for Wednesday's 1-0 win over Athletic Bilbao, and neither player will be considered for selection in this weekend's fixture.

Los Blancos, who have won their last seven matches in all competitions, are otherwise in excellent shape, and head coach Carlo Ancelotti will certainly have one eye on next week's Champions League clash with Inter Milan, which will decide who tops Group D.

Ancelotti is likely to resist the temptation to shuffle his pack, though, due to the importance of this match, which comes ahead of a home game against Atletico Madrid last weekend.

Dani Carvajal was rested against Athletic on Wednesday but should be back in the side here, taking the place of Lucas Vazquez, who is expected to drop down to the bench.

Meanwhile, Rodrygo is pushing to replace Marco Asensio on the right of a front three, with the Brazilian potentially joining Vinicius Junior and Karim Benzema in attack.

Ancelotti could otherwise name an unchanged side, though, with Toni Kroos, Casemiro and Luka Modric set to continue in midfield despite the presence of Federico Valverde and Eduardo Camavinga.

Real Madrid possible starting lineup: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Modric, Casemiro, Kroos; Rodrygo, Benzema, Vinicius
