Real Madrid return with renewed vigor from a Club World Cup triumph and prepare to restart their La Liga title push with a cupcake home match against league bottom feeders Elche.Things were looking up for the last-placed side after they emerged victorious for the first time all season in their last match against Villarreal, but it came at a high price, losing hat-trick hero Pere Milla to a serious shoulder injury plus the yellow card suspensions of two other key players.That will leave Real Madrid licking their chops, needing results fast and often to keep pace with and eventually catch Barcelona, who sit a whopping 11 points clear atop the La Liga table. Madrid have dropped points in three of their last five league games, allowing Barcelona to pull away, and now there's almost no room for error the Brent Seabrook Jersey rest of the way. A slip here in this match with a prime chance to pick up three points would e sentially be the end of their domestic championship hunt.Complicating matters for Carlo Ancelotti, Champions League knockout play starts next week, leaving him with some selection headaches as he hopes to manage minutes and fitne s throughout the rest of the clogged fixture calendar.MORE: DateTimeTV channelStreamingUSAWed, Feb. 1515:00 ETESPN DeportesESPN+, UKWed, Feb. 1520:00 GMTLaLigaTV, Viaplay Sports 1Viaplay UKAustraliaThu, Feb. 1607:00 AESTOptus SportbeIN Sports ConnectCanadaWed, Feb. 1515:00 ETTSN5TSN+IndiaThu, Feb. 1600:30 ISTSports18Sony LIV, JioTVNew ZealandThu, Feb. 1609:00 NZSTSky Sports 7beIN SportsbeIN Sports ConnectMalaysiaThu, Feb. 1604:00 MTbeIN SportsbeIN Sports Connect, sookaSingaporeThu, Feb. 1604:00 SSTbeIN SportsbeIN Sports, StarHub TV+Hong KongThu, Feb. 1604:00 HKSTNow Sports 2Now PlayerUSA:La Ligamatches can be seen in the United States exclusively on ESPN's subscription-based streaming service ESPN+.

Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed thatRodrygowill be the one to start in his place, getting a rare chance to shine from the start, a break from his usual super sub role.Mi sing due to injury for Real Madrid are Thibaut Courtois,Ferland Mendy, Patrick Kane Jersey andEden Hazard. In goal it will beAndriy Luninto replace Courtois, as the Ukrainian international had a very solid Club World Cup showing. A healthyDavid Alabashould slot in at left-back for Mendy, althoughEduardo Camavingadeputised well at the Club World Cup.The fitne s of ageing midfieldersToni KroosandLuka Modricwill also factor in to selection the rest of the season, especially with Champions League play coming up. Kroos in particular is dealing with an illne s, which could mean more minutes forMarco AsensioorDani Ceballos.Real Madrid projected starting lineup (4-3-3):Lunin (GK) Carvajal, Nacho, Rudiger, Alaba F. Valverde, Tchouameni, Ceballos Asensio, Benzema, Rodrygo.Elche bo s Pablo Machin would surely love to stick with the starting lineup he had Connor Murphy Jersey for the team's first win of the season last time out, a 3-1 victory over Villarreal, but he will have a few i sues keeping him from doing so.First,Omar Mascarelland Helibelton Palaciosare suspended for yellow card accumulation, requiring at least two changes. In for Palacios will likely beDiego Gonzalezwho came on at halftime of the Villarreal win, whileLautaro BlancoorGonzalo Verducould be options in midfield for Machin.Even more devastating for Machin is the lo s ofPere Milla, who scored all three goals against Villarreal, but went down in the 58th minute with a broken clavicle and will be mi sing for months.Elche projectedstarting lineup (3-4-2-1):Badia (GK) Magallan, Roco, D. Gonzalez Clerc, Gumbau, Blanco, Carmona Boye, Ponce Chavez. Real Madrid are considered ma sive favorites against an Elche side with just one win all season in Spanish top flight action. Los Blancos are 1/5 on the money line, while Elche are an enormous 13/1 to come away with all three points, and even 6/1 to hold Real Madrid level.Looking at game flow selections, it's an even bleaker picture for the visitors at the Bernabeu. Real Madrid are e sentially favorites to hit the over 2.5 goals total all by themselves, inflating the total up to 3.5 with just their own goalscoring threat.
