--------------------------------------------------------
Real Madrid
Jude Bellingham has picked up a knock and he is unlikely for any of the fixtures this month. He will be joining David Alaba and Eduardo Camavinga on the sidelines.
Ferland Mendy who was sent off in the final minutes of their first league game of the season is suspended for this fixture. Ancelotti will stick to the 4-3-3 formation, where Thibaut Courtois will take charge in goal. Dani Carvajal will take charge as the right-back, while Fran Garcia should start on the left with Ferland Mendy unavailable. Eder Militao should pair up with Antonio Rudiger in the heart of the defence.
Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouaméni will protect the backline as well as look to control the tempo of the game. While Luka Modric could come into the starting XI to replace Bellingham, the Italian manager could take a much more attacking route and start Brahim Diaz in an advanced midfield role. The Brazilian duo of Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior will feature on the flanks with French World Cup winner Kylian Mbappe leading the line.
Real Valladolid
The visitors will be without the services of Anuar Tuhami. Andre Ferreira is back available following a suspension, while Kenedy who has had some fitness issues of late should shake it off. But, that does not mean Paulo Pezzolano will be making any changes to the XI that started in their last outing.
He is expected to stick to the 4-5-1 formation, and Karl Hein will continue in goal. Luis Pérez Maqueda and Lucas Rosa will be the full-backs for the visitors, while Javi Sánchez will pair up with Flavien Enzo Boyomo in the heart of the defence.
Amath Ndiaye Diedhiou and Raúl Moro will start out wide on the flanks. They will look to support the full-backs as well as provide width to their attacks. Kike Pérez will start alongside Eray Cömert and Selim Amallah in the centre of the park. The trio will look to ensure Madrid midfielders do not end up dominating the proceedings. Mamadou Sylla will lead the line for the visitors.
Real Madrid possible starting lineup:
Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, F Garcia; Valverde, Tchouameni, Modric; Rodrygo, Mbappe, Vinicius
Real Valladolid possible starting lineup:
Hein; Perez, Sanchez, Boyomo, Rosa; Ndiaye, Perez, Comert, Amallah, Moro; Sylla

Prediction: Real Madrid 3-0 Real Valladolid
Real Valladolid have not beaten Real Madrid at Bernabeu in La Liga since May 2000, and we are finding it incredibly difficult to predict an away success here. Indeed, we are instead backing Los Blancos to return to winning ways in style, with Mbappe potentially registering his first La Liga goal.
