Carlo Ancelotti sticks with his Club World Cup-winning lineup as Real Madrid attempt to extend their Spanish-record winning streak away at Valencia in La Liga.

Carlo Ancelotti has named an attacking Real Madrid lineup as they attempt to continue their Spanish-record winning run against Valencia this evening.

Luka Modric is still out with a thigh injury and is the only notable absentee for the La Liga leaders as they take on fifth-placed Valencia at the Mestalla.

Isco is preferred to the more defensively-minded Sami Khedira or Asier Illarramendi in the Croatian's usual midfield spot as Los Blancos stick with the same side which won the Club World Cup in December.

Ballon d'Or favourite Cristiano Ronaldo leads the feared forward line which also includes Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez and Karim Benzema, while Sergio Ramos has shaken off a knock to start in defence.

Manchester City loanee Alvaro Negredo starts up front for the hosts alongside Spain international striker Paco Alcacer, while Enzo Perez makes his debut after joining from Benfica during the winter break.

Valencia: Alves; Mustafi, Otamendi, Orban; Barragan, Parejo, Perez, Gomes, Piatti; Alcacer, Negredo

Real: Casillas; Carvajal, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo; Isco, Kroos; Bale, James, Ronaldo; Benzema
