Real Madrid will field some of their top names in a bid to overturn a four goal deficit against Segunda B minnows Alcorcon at the Bernabeu in this evenings second leg of the Copa del Rey fourth round, according to AS.
Coach Manuel Pellegrini is set to include Brazilian playmaker Kaka and in-form Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuain, Ruud van Nistelrooy and veteran striker Raul, who played in the first leg.
Lassana Diarra and Mahamadou Diarra will reportedly hold the fort in midfield while the four pronged attack goes in search of four goals to cancel the deficit.
Alcorcon have a few injury concerns going into the tie with Borja Gomez, the two-goal hero from the first leg suffering from 'flu while Cascon and Bravo are carrying knocks.
Tonight's crucial Copa tie will see Real's dreams of equalling Barca's remarkable treble come to an abrupt end if they fail to score at least four.
