Real Madrid visit Espanyol a week ahead of El Clásico. Barcelona have all but clinched LaLiga title so Los Blancos have nothing to play for, that being the main reason why key starters like Güler, Tchouameni or Mbappé won’t be rushed back from injury. Gonzalo will likely get the chance to start and lead the attacking line.
PREDICTED LINEUPS
Espanyol predicted XI: Dmitrovic; Omar El Hilali, Calero, Cabrera, Romero; Dolan, Urko Gonzalez, Expósito, Terrats; Pere Milla and Roberto Fernández.
Real Madrid
predicted XI: Lunin; Trent, Rüdiger, Huijsen, Mendy; Tchouaméni, Valverde, Camavinga; Bellingham; Vinicius and Gonzalo.
