Reigning La Liga champions Real Madrid continue their hunt on Tuesday when Deportivo Alavés visit the Santiago Bernabéu. Carlo Ancelotti's side are four points behind Barcelona, so a win is the only option. Alavés has reached as high as sixth so that Los Blancos may have surprisingly big difficulties again.
Possible lineups, not sure they are so probable:
Real Madrid has played with the handbrake on in the season's early stages, even though there is plenty of stardom upfront. The locks were opened properly only on the weekend in the home game against Espanyol, as for the first time this season Real looked almost like what it could look like at its best. So the direction is right and perhaps Ancelotti's squad gradually get excited to play.
Jude Bellingham's shoulder will likely allow him to play on Tuesday, but Dani Carvajal, Eduardo Camavinga, Brahim Díaz, David Alaba and Dani Ceballos are sidelined. Endrick is given a place in the starting line-up, is it at the expense of Rodrygo? Arda Güler also will get big minutes.
Led by Luis García Plaza, Alavés have won no fewer than three of their first six matches, which is a magnificent performance for the Basque club. The performances have still been strong, so the wins have been deserved in light of the events of the game. The most handsome scalps were taken from Sevilla and Real Sociedad, but winning on Tuesday would require an even more ferocious performance. In the match away at Sociedad they conceded only 1 shot on target!
From Alavés, only Nahuel Tenaglia is on the sidelines for sure, but Hugo Novo may also be on the sidelines for health reasons. If the latter doesn't play either, it would be Santiago Mouriño's turn. Of course, like Ancelotti, García Plaza also has to recycle a bit, which is usually a factor that lowers the level more for smaller clubs and that is my main worry here. Is there enough depth?
Real Madrid has had bad starting problems in the early season matches, and now that the openers are being reworked a bit for the weekly round, getting to the grounds can be a pain. Alavés has been a defensively high-quality team since the beginning of the season, and as long as the visiting team remembers to close the space for the hosts, it could be goalless at least until half-time.

西甲卫冕冠军皇家马德里将在周二继续他们的追逐，届时拉科鲁尼亚将做客圣地亚哥伯纳巴姆。安切洛蒂的球队落后巴萨4分，所以取胜是唯一的选择。alavsamas已经达到了第六位，所以白衣军团可能会再次遇到令人惊讶的大困难。
可能的阵容，不确定他们是否有可能:
皇家马德里在赛季的早期阶段一直在使用手刹，尽管前面有很多明星。只有在周末主场对阵西班牙人的比赛中，锁才被打开，这是本赛季皇马第一次表现出最好的样子。所以方向是正确的，也许安切洛蒂的球队会逐渐兴奋起来。
贝灵汉的肩膀伤势可能会让他在周二的比赛中出场，但是卡瓦哈尔、卡马文加、卜拉希姆Díaz、阿拉巴和塞巴略斯都将缺阵。恩德里克在首发阵容中得到了一个位置，这是以牺牲罗德里戈为代价的吗?阿尔达·格莱勒也将获得重要的上场时间。
在路易斯García广场的带领下，alav<s:1>在他们的前六场比赛中赢得了不少于三场，这对巴斯克俱乐部来说是一个辉煌的表现。他们的表现仍然很强劲，所以从比赛的情况来看，这场胜利是当之无愧的。最漂亮的头皮来自塞维利亚和皇家社会，但赢得周二的比赛需要更加凶猛的表现。在客场对阵Sociedad的比赛中，他们只丢了1次射正!
在alav，只有Nahuel Tenaglia肯定会在场外，但Hugo Novo也可能因为健康原因而在场外。如果后者也不上场，那就轮到圣地亚哥Mouriño上场了。当然，和安切洛蒂一样，García广场球场也需要再循环一些，这通常是小俱乐部降低水平的一个因素，这也是我在这里主要担心的。是否有足够的深度?
皇家马德里在赛季初的比赛中遇到了糟糕的首发问题，现在揭幕战正在为每周的比赛重新设计，进入球场可能是一件痛苦的事情。自赛季开始以来，阿拉维斯一直是一支防守质量很高的球队，只要客队记得为主队缩小空间，至少在半场结束前，他们可能会一球未进。
