The majority of the back line is set to have a similar look to last season with Fran Garcia set for a club La Liga debut at left back.
Garcia returned to Los Blancos this season after a superb two years at Rayo Vallecano but he did not manage a league appearance in his first spell at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
England star Jude Bellingham is certain to make his first competitive appearance since a major summer switch from Borussia Dortmund with Joselu set to start on the bench.
