Bale To Start? Predicted Real Madrid Starting XI To Face Liverpool

Liverpool are in Spain ahead of Tuesday nights Champions League clash with Real Madrid. Here is the starting XI we think Carlo Ancelotti will go with:

Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas appears to be back in favour so the Spanish legend is expected to keep his place between the sticks.

Defence: Sergio Ramos missed the game at Anfield two weeks ago but is set to start tomorrow after making his return from injury at the weekend. Pepe could be the man to make way. Fabio Coentrao is out along with Dani Carvajal so Marcelo and former Red Alvaro Arbeloa should fill the full-back roles.

Midfield: Sami Khedira and Asier Illarramendi failed to train on Monday so they are doubts for the game, but Ancelotti would probably have gone with Toni Kroos alongside Luka Modric in midfield anyway.

Attack: Gareth Bale is back after a three week absence through injury and should take up his place along with James Rodriquez, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema in a fearsome-looking attack.
