Sports Mole looks at how Real Madrid could line up in Friday's La Liga clash with Celta Vigo.

Kepa Arrizabalaga is set to make his Real Madrid debut in Friday night's La Liga clash with Celta Vigo.

The Spaniard was an unused substitute against Almeria last weekend, with Los Blancos head coach Carlo Ancelotti keeping faith with Andriy Lunin between the sticks.

However, Kepa is set to come into the side on Friday, potentially in one of two changes from the side that took to the field for the first whistle against Almeria last time out.

The other alteration is set to come in midfield, with Eduardo Camavinga, who did not start the 3-1 victory on August 19 due to muscular overload, expected to come in for Toni Kroos.

There are unlikely to be any change elsewhere, with Jude Bellingham again set to operate as the advanced midfielder behind the front two of Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior.

Bellingham has scored three times in his first two appearances for Real Madrid, and the Englishman should again be supported by the likes of Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde in deeper positions.

Los Blancos will again be missing five players through injury, with Ferland Mendy and Dani Ceballos not yet ready to return from their muscular problems.

Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao are likely to miss the entire season due to recent knee operations, while new signing Arda Guler was also recently forced to undergo surgery on his knee.

Real Madrid possible starting lineup: Kepa; Carvajal, Rudiger, Alaba, Garcia; Valverde, Tchouameni, Camavinga; Bellingham; Rodrygo, Vinicius
