Real Madrid V Granada Preview

                                                              Vs

Jose Mourinho will be boosted by the return of Sergio Ramos who has shrugged off a hamstring injury. The Spanish international will replace Pepe, who is suspended, meaning Raul Albiol is likely to keep his place at center back.

After their dramatic 3-2 Copa del Rey victory over Malaga, Los Blancos are expected to ring the changes with Sami Khedira,Karim Benzema all likely to return to the starting lineup after impressive performances off the bench on Tuesday evening.

Angel Di Maria misses out with a thigh strain & Kaka will stay in the team while there are no places in the squad for Alvaro Arveloa and Fabio Coentrao so Lassana Diarra is likely to start at right back.

Returning after the winter break, Granada has no major injury concerns going into the game, but one man who will not feature is Yohan Mollo, who has left the club to go on loan to Nancy.

Pape Diakhite is expected to continue at center back alongside Inigo Lopez, while Odion Ighalo is likely to line up as a lone frontman, with support coming courtesy of Gonzalo Jara and Ikechukwu Uche.
