    20 minutes to kick off.
    20:25
    Real's first game since the collapse of the European Super League - how will they react? Florentino Perez hasn't conceded complete defeat yet, but the team cannot let off-the-field issues trouble them in a game that could well decide the destination of this season's La Liga title.
    20:20
    With a win here, it would allow Real to move away from Sevilla - also on 67 points - and move level with Atletico - Barcelona lie two points behind with a game in hand - two after the end of this one - but we shall see.
    20:18
    Cadiz are in a 4-3-3 shape on paper, but expect a more rigid 4-5-1, or even 6-3-1 at times, with former Manchester City veteran Alvaro Negredo the isolated out-ball on half way. They may well be relying on his and the central defenders' aerial threat from set-pieces to have any chance in this one.
    20:09
    Real are going gung-ho tonight. They know they need goals and they've set themselves up to do just that. Marcelo is in from the start in a more advanced wing-back role, with youngster Antonio Blanco partnering Casemiro in midfield to give Toni Kroos and Luka Modric a rest before the Champions League.

    But let's analyse the team selections.
    20:08
    The hosts, however, are in lower-mid table safety - 36 points at this stage of the season seems to have made them sure of their survival, and if they were to pull off an unlikely win, they could see themselves move to 10th in the table.
    20:06
    Madrid come into this game three points off the summit - Atletico lead the way on 70 points - but Madrid can close the gap with a win tonight.
    20:04
    Real are in a 3-4-3: Courtois, Militao, Nacho, Varane, Odriozola. Blanco, Casemiro, Marcelo, Junior, Benzema, Rodrygo.
    20:02
    Cadiz are in a 4-3-3: Ledesma, Carcelen, Jimenez, Lopez, Espino, Jonsson, Mari, Izquierdo, Sobrino, Negredo. Sanchez.
