LaLiga Starting XI: Real Madrid v Celta Vigo 16 February 2020

Teams: Real Madrid v Celta Vigo

Date: 16 February 2020

Venue: Santiago Bernabeu

Real Madrid welcome Celta Vigo to the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday night and one big name has returned to the starting line-up for the LaLiga leaders.

After shock Copa del Rey exit, Los Blancos returned to winning ways last weekend after rallying from behind to thump Osasuna 4-1 away from home.

Following Barcelona's win over Getafe on Saturday, Los Blancos remain top of the log due to their superior goal difference and they can move three points clear with a win this afternoon.

After a lengthy spell on the sidelines , Eden Hazard has been named in the squad for the first time since November 2019.

At the other end of table you'll find Celta Vigo, who ended a run of eight games without a win to defeat Sevill a 2-1 last weekend.

The win moved Celta out of the relegation zone seven days, although they are unable to move higher than 17th position this weekend regardless of the result,

Los Blancos claimed the spoils when these sides met earlier in the season, with goals from Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos and Lucas Vazquez securing a 3-1 victory.

Real Madrid: Courtois; Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo; Fede Valverde, Casemiro, Kroos; Bale, Benzema, Hazard.

Celta Vigo: Ruben, Kevin, Aidoo, Araujo, Murillo, Olaza, Bradaric, Okay, Rafinha, Iago Aspas, Smolov.
