Real Madrid are three points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona and will fancy their chances of beating Valencia on Saturday to put pressure on their rivals ahead of their evening kick-off against Real Betis.

But there's a fly in the ointment for Carlo Ancelotti. Goalkeepers Thibaut Courtois and Andriy Lunin are both injured, meaning a probable debut for 19-year-old Fran Gonzalez.

Valencia are battling to avoid relegation and sit four points clear of the drop zone.
