Jurrien Timber should replace Ben White at right-back, while Thomas Partey, Martin Odegaard, and Gabriel Martinelli are all expected to make returns to the starting XI. Bukayo Saka is also poised for his first start since recovering from a hamstring tear.
There are no changes on the injury front, with the hosts without Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Riccardo Calafiori and Takehiro Tomiyasu.
Dani Ceballos and Ferland Mendy are not yet ready to make their respective returns, and reports from Spain suggest we could see David Alaba start at left-back in the latter’s absence.
Aurelien Tchouameni’s suspension means we could see Luka Modric partner Eduardo Camavinga in midfield.
Superstars Rodrygo, Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, and Kylian Mbappe will all be included in Ancelotti’s XI.
Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Arsenal (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Valverde, Asencio, Rudiger, Alaba; Modric, Camavinga; Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vinicius; Mbappe.
Arsenal vs Real Madrid score prediction
Arsenal claimed victory at the Bernabeu 19 years ago, but victory on home soil is key to their quarter-final hopes against the holders. They won’t want to visit the Spanish capital with a deficit to make up.
The Emirates will be rocking for the visit of Madrid’s superstars, and Arsenal have the foundations in place to limit their visitors in transition. However, they’re going to miss Gabriel at the heart of their defence, and Ancelotti’s side will leap upon the only chink in this Gunners outfit’s armour.
Neither side should be able to contain the other on Tuesday in an entertaining draw.
Arsenal vs Real Madrid Preview
Real Madrid are currently in second place in the La Liga standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. Los Blancos slumped to a shock 2-1 defeat at the hands of Valencia in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are in second place in the Premier League table at the moment and have stepped up to the plate this season. The home side played out a 1-1 draw against Everton last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Arsenal will want to get a quick start here if at all possible. Arteta’s men have not been firing of late and that result vs Everton was a showing of how it’s been over the last few weeks. The welcome return of key man Bukayo Saka will add some flare to the side down that right hand side. He will link up with Timber down the right side to give make shift left back and young frenchman camavinga work hard for the entire 90 minutes.
