Solari has had to contend with a number of injuries at the back. Varane picked up a knock in the Clasico last week and so the four that play today are the only four he has.
9'
Real Madrid have suffered a poor start to the season, but their only saving grace is that their rivals in La Liga have also suffered a poor start. They haven't been left behind... yet.
8'
That's what Asensio can bring to a team. He has been favoured over Isco for this game and what Asensio brings is directness and a willingness to drive through the midfield.

Great chance for Benzema! Asensio drives forward and plays the ball in behind for the French striker, who takes the shot early. It beats the keeper, but flashes inches wide of the far post.
5'
Real Valladolid are a tough team to beat and so this will be a tough task for Real Madrid, who have been struggling for potency in the final third of the pitch.
4'
Odriozola has been picked at right back by Solari for this game. For some reason, Lopetegui didn't seem to be a fan of the former Real Sociedad youngster. But Solari has given him a chance.

So what kind of Real Madrid team turn up this afternoon? Their last Liga game saw them thumped at the hands of Barcelona in El Clasico last weekend. Will they respond?

Not long until kick off at the Santiago Bernabeu. What kind of Real Madrid team will turn up this afternoon?
15:10
Jardim for Real? Conte is reportedly out of the picture to take over at the Santiago Bernabeu and so most of the money is now on Pochettino and Jardim to get the job permanently.
15:05
No Isco! The playmaker misses out for Real Madrid this afternoon. He didn't have a great game during the week and so Solari has taken the decision to drop him to the bench.
