Real Madrid are seeking to bring their three-game winless streak in La Liga to a close on Wednesday when they visit Athletic Club.
Los Blancos have drawn their last three matches in the league and have lost grasp of top spot as a result, with disappointing results against Rayo Vallecano, Elche and Girona piling pressure on Xabi Alonso. A response is required in Bilbao for what is a sixth straight away game for Madrid.
Alonso welcomed some key names back into his team during the weekend’s stalemate with Girona but another underwhelming performance will force the Spaniard to take stock. There could be changes for the journey to Estadio San Mamés.
Here is how Madrid could line up against Athletic.
