Real Madrid
Real Madrid will be without Ballon D'or winner Karim Benzema for this one, as the Frenchman continues to recover from muscular fatigue after three games out of the side.
Having played nine games during the month of October, and with a tricky trip to Rayo Vallecano to come on the weekend, expect to see a few rotations to Carlo Ancelotti's extremely competitive XI.
Marco Asensio and Eden Hazard may come into the squad, while Aurelien Tchouameni should return to the midfield after he was given time off against Girona.
Real Madrid possible starting lineup:
Courtois; Mendy, Militao, Nacho, Vazquez; Kroos, Tchouameni, Camavinga; Hazard, Rodrygo, Asensio
Celtic
For the visitors, Callum McGregor will continue his spell on the sidelines after he sustained a knee injury against Leipzig, while Jota could have another part to play off the bench after his successful return to action on the weekend.
In addition, Swedish centre-back Carl Starfelt failed to make the squad against Livingston but could make the bench here, after he picked up a knee injury back in September.
Otherwise, Celtic have a largely healthy squad ahead of a historic trip to the Bernabeu.
Celtic possible starting lineup:
Hart; Taylor, Jenz, Carter-Vickers, Ralston; Hatate, O'Riley, Mooy; Abada, Furuhashi, Forrest
Prediction: Real Madrid 2-0 Celtic
