Ozil, Modric, Di Maria all start for Madrid

Mesut Ozil, Luka Modric and Angel di Maria have all been named in the starting lineup for Real Madrid's match against Granada this evening despite ongoing speculation over their futures.

The trio have all been linked with moves to the Premier League, with Manchester United reportedly looking at Ozil and Modric while Arsenal are thought to be interested in Di Maria.

However, manager Carlo Ancelotti has ignored the uncertainty over their future and named them in his starting XI for tonight's match.

Cristiano Ronaldo also starts for the Spanish giants alongside Isco and Karim Benzema up front, while Iker Casillas must once again settle for a place on the bench.

Granada: Roberto, Nyom, Mainz, Diakhate, Angulo, Yebda, Brahimi, Benitez, Iturra, Piti, El Arabi Subs: Karnezis, Murillo, Rico, Buonanotte, Garcia, Fatau, Riki

Real Madrid: Lopez; Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo, Arbeloa; Ozil, Modric, Di Maria; Ronaldo, Isco, Benzema Subs: Casillas, Carvajal, Fernandes, Kaka, Casemiro, Jese, Morata
