Ahead of a massive summer overhaul, Real Madrid under Zinedine Zidane are going through what remains of a poor campaign. They host 15th place Villarreal next and whatever be the outcome of the game, a third-place finish looks the most likely achievement for the Los Blancos this season. Last week’s defeat at the hands of Rayo Vallecano gave us a glimpse of the rebuilding task at the hands of Zidane with his team second best throughout the contest. With just one win in the last four games, Madrid will be eager to bounce back in front of home fans. Real Madrid vs Villarreal - Live Football Score.

Marcelo is set to be dropped by Zidane for the game after a poor show in the last game and young full-back Sergio Reguilon could start in his position. Sergio Ramos continues to be unavailable for Real Madrid leading to Nacho Fernandez getting a lot of game time. The front three of Mariano Diaz, Brahim Diaz and Marco Asensio has pace and energy needed to cut open defences but will mean Gareth Bale drops out of the side. Thibault Courtois displaced Keylor Navas last week and will likely keep his place in the playing eleven.

Villarreal will be without striker Karl Toko Ekambi and midfielder Santiago Caseres who are suspended for the tie. Carlos Bacca is dealing with fitness issues and may not start against Madrid handing Gerard Moreno a start. Former Arsenal man Santi Cazorla will feature a the heart of midfield having scored a brace when these two teams last met in the league. Samuel Chukwueze is an upcoming talent for the visitors who can put the Madrid defence in a spot of bother.
