PROBABLE LINEUPS |

REAL MADRID
 Casillas Arbeloa, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo Diarra, Xabi Alonso Callejon, Ozil, Ronaldo Benzema |
REAL ZARAGOZA
 Roberto Obradovic, Da Silva, Lanzaro, Paredes Micael, Dujmovic, Apono, Lafita Luis Garcia Postiga |
Real Madrid will be without Sami Khedira who is absent through an ankle injury, while Angel Di Maria is still missing with a knock. Jose Mourinho's men do not have any new absentees since their Copa del Rey exit midweek and Pepe looks set to continue to start in central defence.
The Portugal international will play alongside Sergio Ramos who is available for the game as his sending off versus Barcelona on Wednesday will only see him banned from the Copa del Rey.
Marcelo could come into the starting line-up at left-back while Jose Callejon may be given the nod ahead of Kaka in attack. Karim Benzema is expected to replace Gonzalo Higuain as Madrid's lone striker.
For Manolo Jimenez's side, there are no recent injury problems as Paulo da Silva is expected to continue at the heart of the defence after returning from a broken leg while Ivan Obradovic is set to feature at right-back.
The visitors are expected to name three players on-loan at the club in midfield - Apono, Ruben Micael and Tomislav Dujmovic, while Helder Postiga looks set to lead the line with support coming from Luis Garcia.

The French striker has been in top form this season and looked very sharp in a cameo appearance off the bench midweek against Barcelona, grabbing a goal in the process. The Zaragoza defence will have a tough task keeping the former Lyon man quiet for 90 minutes.
| Hélder Postiga | |
| Position: | Striker |
| Squad Number: | 9 |
| Games | Goals | YC | RC |
|---|---|---|---|
| 21 | 5 | 4 | 0 |
The former Porto man is the club's top Liga scorer with four goals yet the Portugal international has not scored in over two months. Postiga will need to find his shooting boots if Zaragoza are to have any chance over Los Blancos.
With Madrid going goal crazy at home and Zaragoza's run of 12 games without a win in Liga, it is diffifult to see anything other than a comfortable home win when the two teams meet on Saturday evening.
