On Wednesday, Real Madrid host Liverpool at Santiago Bernabeu in the Champions League round of 16. While we did win 5-2 at Anfield, let's not forget that Liverpool recently beat Manchester United 7-0 in the derby.
Despite our advantage, it is still an important game. Here are the key things to know going into it.
Team news
Real Madrid
The Merengues have already confirmed their squad for the game. David Alaba is the only player missing as he is still recovering from injury.
Liverpool
The Reds, meanwhile, cannot count on Luis Diaz, Thiago Alcantara, Calvin Ramsey and Joe Gomez through injury. (h/t Sportsmole)
Probable lineups
It's been reported that Carlo Ancelotti is contemplating between Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga. We expect the coach to go with the more experienced option -- Tchouameni.
Real Madrid XI: Courtois; Carvajal, Nacho, Rudiger, Nacho; Modric, Tchouameni, Kroos; Valverde, Benzema, Vinicius Jr.
Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson; Salah, Jota, Nunez; Gakpo.
