Real Madrid visit Villarreal without key reserves like Isco and James. Villarreal will be a tough team to beat st the Estadio de la Cerámica although they have not started the season in good form.
Real Madrid need to take care of business and get the three points in order to take advantage of Barcelona's surprising draw against Osasuna. Last week's home draw against Valladolid was discouraging but Madrid can surely earn redemption by getting these three points today.
There's a FIFA break coming up, so Zidane will not be expected to make rotations tonight. Reports from Spain suggested that Militao could start in the center of Madrid's defensive line, but if Ramos and Varane are healthy and ready to go Zidane will likely use them.
