Mallorca haven't made much of an impression, but they'll likely be quite happy with how things have gone so far.

Real Madrid are yet to have a real standout chance.

It's another set piece that Luca Modric fails to take advantage of.

He goes direct with his free-kick but it smashes into the wall.

The rebound falls to Aurelien Tchouameni but he can't hit the target.

Real Madrid are just so quick when they attack.

Lucas Vazquez runs towards the Mallorca box and is tripped by Matija Nastasic.

That came from nowhere!

Brahim Diaz is surrounded by four Mallorca players on the half-way line but writhes free and runs towards goal.

He beats two more defenders but eventually has the ball tapped from his feet before he can produce a finish.

Lovely move.

Oooh.

Dani Rodriguez knocks the ball past Lucas Vazquez and is in behind the Real defence.

His cross is immediately cleared by Antonio Rudiger, though.

Giovanni Gonzalez drags Brahim Diaz and is probably lucky to escape without a booking.

Luka Modric can't take advantage of the resulting free-kick and his delivery doesn't find any of his teammates in the Mallorca box.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's been Real who've started brighter.

A ball is pinged over the top towards Jude Bellingham but is headed clear before he can get to it.

Mallorca are sitting back and holding the visitors back for the time being - spurred on by a bumper home crowd. Estadi de Son Moix is packed this evening to see Mallorca after the Copa del Rey final.

We are under way in Mallorca!

Real Madrid currently lead La Liga and are eight points clear of second-placed Barcelona.

There will be seven matches remaining after this weekend's game and Real will want to maintain their advantage with the season nearing its conclusion.

They host Barcelona in El Clasico next Sunday in a game which could likely prove a title-decider at such a late stage of the season.

Before that, they have the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie with Manchester City coming up on Tuesday.

There are four changes from the Mallorca side who were beaten in the Copa del Rey final in their last game.

They replace Dani Carvajal, Eduardo Camavinga, Toni Kroos, and Eduardo Camavinga drop out but are all on the bench.

Carlo Ancelotti's side lead the division and come into this evening's game against 15th-placed Mallorca off the back of a 3-3 draw with Manchester City in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Mallorca, meanwhile, suffered penalty shootout heartbreak in their last game when they were beaten by Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey final last weekend.

I'll be here to talk you through this evening's game, plus Barcelona's match trip to Cadiz later. Let's begin by taking a look at the line-ups in Mallorca.
