Real Madrid will be looking to win in La Liga for the first time since the opening weekend of the campaign when they welcome Levante to the Bernabeu on Saturday.
Los Blancos have won one and drawn two of their three league matches this season to sit fifth - one spot behind fourth-placed Levante, who have been victorious in two of their three fixtures to collect six points.
Eden Hazard could return from injury to make his first appearance this weekend, though, and there have been positive signs early on despite Madrid drawing their last two in the league against Real Valladolid and Villarreal.
Zidane's side sit fifth in La Liga heading into Week Four - one point above the champions Barcelona but four points off leaders Atletico Madrid, who are the only team in Spain's top flight to make a perfect start.
Zidane's squad is certainly looking a lot healthier at the moment as the likes of Hazard, James Rodriguez and Brahim Diaz have all returned to full training following injury. Isco is also not too far away, meanwhile, and the Madrid boss will need a strong squad at his disposal in the coming weeks.
The home side will certainly enter this weekend's clash as the favourites to triumph - Levante won 2-1 at the Bernabeu in the corresponding game last season, though, and as mentioned, Paco Lopez's side have made an impressive start to the 2019-20 campaign.
Head To Head
Madrid have won 16 of 23 meetings between the two teams in all competitions, with Levante posting just four victories during that run of matches.
That said, as mentioned, Levante recorded a 2-1 victory in the corresponding match last season. Marcelo halved the deficit late on, but goals from Jose Luis Morales and Marti proved enough for the visitors to triumph.
A pair of penalties from Karim Benzema and Bale saw Madrid run out 2-1 winners when they visited Levante back in February.
Prediction:
Real Madrid 2-1 Levante

Does this move to a 442 to squeeze in more wingers?

Maybe we can play Hazard in the midfield to compensate.

The midfield listing is both hilarious and depressing.

The absolute stupid thing about all this that is really frustrating is that Mariano, yet again, is not in the squad BECAUSE HE IS NOT NEEDED! He should’ve been let go and that spot should’ve gone to a new midfielder.

Well at least the transfer market is still open so that we can improve that midfield. Oh wait...

A 4-2-3-1 would be the best formation for the lack of midfielders available

Knowing the way luck is going we start 3 in midfield and then someone gets injured so we put the Lord as a RCM
