Real Madrid entertain Getafe in La Liga as Los Blancos look to continue their momentum after their midweek Champions League success over Chelsea.

A Karim Benzema hat-trick powered Real Madrid to a 3-1 first leg triumph at Stamford Bridge in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Ancelotti's side sit 12 points clear at the top of La Liga with eight games remaining and the Italian will be keen to avoid any slip-ups between now and the end of the season.

Here's how Los Blancos could shape up.
