Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Spanish Liga clash between Las Palmas and Real Madrid. We'll bring you all the goals and action as it happens. Kick-off: 19.45.

I get the feeling that if Las Palmas are to take anything from this game they will need Varas to have the game of his life in goal.

Zidane has dropped Benzema from his team, but because of his stature at the club the former French midfielder can do that sort of thing. Benitez would never have got away with this.

MORATA HEADER SAVED! Real Madrid win a freekick at the byline, with Modric finding the striker with his delivery. But Varas is alert and pushes Morata's header over the crossbar.

KROOS SHOULD HAVE PASSED! The first real chance of the match is pinged off on goal by the German, but he probably should have fed it out right to Ronaldo instead.

Las Palmas are a team that like to play out from the back, but they will find it difficult to do that against a side of Real Madrid's quality tonight. They might have to compromise their style.

Asensio is also starting for Real Madrid in this game. The youngster has really impressed since returning from Espanyol, making an impression early on this season.

Ronaldo still looks short of full match fitness. He has endured a fragmented start to the season and his performance against Villarreal on Wednesday was well below his usual level.

Modric is back for the visitors to Gran Canaria. Real Madrid really missed him against Villarreal during the week. The Croatian should make some sort of a difference this evening.

What is interesting about Real Madrid's starting lineup is that Morata has come in for Benzema, despite the French striker starting in the midweek 1-1 draw against Villarreal.

So Real Madrid's 16 match winning run came to an end against Villarreal during the week, but they are still unbeaten this season. That should continue with this evening's game.

The first half is under way in Gran Canaria! It's Las Palmas against Real Madrid.
