--------------------------------
Atalanta
Gian Piero Gasperini’s squad does not have any fresh injury concerns heading into this fixture. However, they remain without the services of Juan Cuadrado, Gianluca Scamacca and Davide Zappacosta.
The home team will line up in a 3-4-3 formation, where Marco Carnesecchi will be in goal. The back three will consist of Berat Djimsiti, Isak Hien, and Sead Kolasinac. The centre-backs will be looking for a clean sheet and they will receive significant support from Raoul Bellanova and Matteo Ruggeri, who will feature as wing-backs.
In the centre of the park, the highly sought-after Ederson will partner with Marten de Roon. The duo will look to control the tempo and ensure Madrid midfielders do not end up having the majority of the ball.
Mateo Retegui will return to the starting XI, and he will be leading the line for Atalanta against Real Madrid, with Ademola Lookman and Charles De Ketelaere on the flanks.
Real Madrid
Carlo Ancelotti’s team have received a massive boost ahead of this all-important fixture as Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo Goes are all back available.
The Real Madrid number 7 is back sooner than expected and should be in the starting XI alongside Rodrygo as well as Bellingham. However, Ferland Mendy has joined Eder Militao, Dani Carvajal, David Alaba and Eduardo Camavinga on the sidelines.
Real Madrid will line up in a 4-3-3 formation, where Thibaut Courtois will be in goal. Lucas Vazquez and Fran Garcia will be the full-backs, with Raul Asencio and Antonio Rudiger in the heart of the defence.
Aurelien Tchouameni will be the defensive midfielder, with Bellingham and Federico Valverde in his support. They will look to dictate the pace and ensure they have the majority of the possession. Finally, Vinicius will take up his spot the left flank with Rodrygo on the right and Kylian Mbappe down the middle.
Atalanta BC possible starting lineup:
Carnesecchi; Djimsiti, Hien, Kolasinac; Bellanova, De Roon, Ederson, Ruggeri; De Ketelaere, Retegui, Lookman
Real Madrid possible starting lineup:
Courtois; Vazquez, Tchouameni, Rudiger, F Garcia; Valverde, Bellingham, Modric; Rodrygo, Mbappe, Vinicius

Real Madrid really need a positive result on Tuesday, with a defeat unthinkable for the reigning champions considering their position in the table.
