Why not have a go at picking Real Madrid's team for this weekend?

Karim Benzema and Guti have not been included in Manuel Pellegrini's squad list for tomorrow's Liga fixture against Tenerife in the Heliodoro Rodriguez Lopez while Drenthe remains out because of a muscle injury.

The Frenchman will be out with a sports hernia while Guti has recovered from his injury, but Pellegrini does not want to risk his visionary midfielder.

Youth team players Marcos Alonso and Mosquera have also been called up for the match.

The complete squad list is as follows: Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Gago, Diarrá, Raúl, Kaká, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lass, Marcelo, Dudek, Albiol, Garay, Higuaín, Metzelder, Xabi Alonso, Van der Vaart, Granero, Marcos Alonso and Mosquera.

We ask you to leave your choices in the comments box below, using hyphens to separate positions and working from right to left. For instance, here is a side that could line up in a 4-2-2-2 formation:

Casillas - Arbeloa, Albiol, Ramos, Marcelo - Lass, Xabi Alonso - Kaka, Granero - Cristiano Ronaldo, Higuain
