Real Madrid host second place Real Betis on Saturday in their first game at the Santiago Bernabeu this season.

Here's the XI Carlo Ancelotti could pick to secure a fourth victory.
Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Real Betis (4-3-3)
1. Real Madrid XI
GK: Thibaut Courtois - Arguably the best goalkeeper over the past year or so, Courtois is still looking for his first clean sheet of the league season, conceding three in three.
RB: Dani Carvajal - The Spaniard rolled back the years in last season's Champions League final and will hope for an injury-free campaign, especially with Lucas Vazquez waiting in the wings.
CB: Eder Militao - Antonio Rudiger's arrival has put Militao's starting position in jeopardy, but his sound partnership with Alaba should see him start here.
CB: David Alaba - Is one of the world's best at both left back and centre back, seamlessly switching between the two when needed.
LB: Ferland Mendy - Saw off club legend Marcelo in the summer and Alaba's brilliance in the middle means Mendy is the main left back at Real these days.
CM: Toni Kroos - Kroos is adapting to life without Casemiro and recently took a pop at the new Manchester United midfielder, saying: Switching Champions League for Europa League is a big difference."
CM: Aurelien Tchouameni - Casemiro's replacement is Tchouameni, who has impressed with his driving runs and grabbed an assist in the win at Espanyol.
CM: Luka Modric - The Croatian was a little quiet in that victory and might be fighting with Eduardo Camavinga for a starting XI place.
RW: Federico Valverde - Continuing his transition into a winger, though the star quality of Real's attack comes through the middle and on the left. Valverde himself has already scored as many goals this season - one - as he did last term.
ST: Karim Benzema - Has started the season in fine fettle with three goals and will be looking to overhaul Betis' Borja Iglesias, who has four.
LW: Vinicius Junior - The Brazilian is backing up his breakout 2021/22 campaign with an excellent start this time around, starring particularly in the 4-1 win over Celta Vigo with a goal and an assist.
