Team news
Pantomime villain Sergio Ramos is out of this game for Real Madrid with an injury but Toni Kroos and Alvaro Odriozola could return.
Raphael Varane has also been ruled out for the hosts with Coronavirus, meaning backup centre-backs Eder Militao and Nacho are likely to fill in.
Eden Hazard has returned to training but faces a race against time to be fit for this one, as do Dani Carvajal and Federico Valverde.
Ozan Kabak and Nat Phillips could continue in the middle for Liverpool as their defensive crisis continues.
James Milner came into the midfield for the 3-0 win at Arsenal at the weekend and could well keep his place in Spain.
Diogo Jota netted twice at the Emirates as a sub and will be hoping to earn a starting berth after six goals in his last four games for club and country.
