Real Madrid are aiming to return to the La Liga summit, at least for a day, with Sunday’s victory against Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabeu. Table-toppers Girona play Alaves on Monday, so Los Blancos have a chance to take the top spot and put some extra pressure on the high-flying Catalans.As per Marca, Carlo Ancelotti will make one significant change from the side that drew with Betis last weekend (1-1). Apparently, Kepa Arrizabalaga is set to replace Andriy Lunin between the sticks despite the fact it’s not the latter to blame for a screamer he conceded against the green and whites.A green-and-white missile shoots Real Madrid downLunin was excellent against Betis, and he ensured that Real Madrid picked up a point in that match with some top saves. Still, it obviously wasn’t enough for Carlo Ancelotti, who will opt for the on-loan Chelsea star as his starting goalkeeper instead.‘Carlo Ancelotti is the king of kings’Conversely, Villarreal will be without injured Juan Foyth, while Alexander Sorloth, who recently returned from injury, will be benched.LA LIGA – MATCHDAY 17Friday Osasuna – Rayo Vallecano 1-0 (0-0)/Raul 90+5/Saturday Celta – Granada 1-0 (1-0)/Larsen 20/Ath.Bilbao – Atl.Madrid 2-0 (0-0)/Guruzeta 51, N.
