Predicted Teams Leganes-Real Madrid: Carlo Ancelotti to make three changes

Barcelona's late defeat to Celta Vigo on Saturday evening means Real Madrid can close the gap at the top of the La Liga table to one point with a win against Leganes on Sunday.

Last time out against Osasuna, Real Madrid's injury crisis reached a new level as Eder Militao, Lucas Vazquez and Rodrygo were all beaten. The first is out for the rest of the season, the other two will be absent against Leganes. According to Marca, their replacements are Raul Asencio, Luka Modric and Brahim Diaz.

Leganes defeated Sevilla two weeks ago and are expected to make two changes in that match. Eric Franquesa is injured and will be replaced by Javi Hernandez, while Yvan Neyou will replace Renato Tapia in midfield.

Real Madrid looked better against Osasuna and they will hope to continue the positive momentum after the international break. However, Leganes will certainly not make it easy for them.
