La Liga Starting XI: Real Madrid v Eibar, 11 April 2015

La Liga Starting XI: Real Madrid v Eibar, 11 April 2015

Real Madrid will be looking to keep the pressure on Barcelona at the top of La Liga as they take on Eibar at the Santiago Bernabeau.

Carlo Ancelotti's men have won 11 of their last 12 home matches in La Liga, while the visitors have failed to win any of their previous six away matches in the league.

The European Champions form record now reads slightly more positively, with three wins from their previous six and their opponents is abysmal, with only one win from their last six matches.

However, with the teams only meeting three times in the past 11 years, Eibar did manage a draw against Real Madrid way back in January 2004 that may give them a small amount of confidence.

Now in 14th place on the league table, Eibar know that avoiding defeat today could make a huge difference in their bid to avoid relegation this season.

In team news, Gareth Bale, Sami Khedira, Fabio Coentrao and Castilla graduate Alvaro Medran have all been ruled out for Real Madrid, as James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos will be forced to sit out due to suspensions.

For Eibar, Angel is missing due to injury, while Eneko Bóveda is suspended.        

Here is how the teams will line-up:

Real Madrid: Navas; Arbeloa, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo; Illarramendi, Modric, Isco; Cristiano, Chicharito, Jesé

Eibar: Irureta; Lillo, Añibarro, Navas, Didac; Borja, Dani García; Capa, Del Moral, Lara; Berjón
