Real Madrid visit Valencia to take on third tier outfit Olimpic de Xativa in the fourth round of the Copa del Rey on Saturday night.
The Los Blancos are enjoying a good run of form, having won their last five La Liga games - after losing the El Clasico 2-1 at Camp Nou back in August - and now trail Barcelona and Atletico Madrid by just three points.
Carlo Ancelotti's men now have to play four games inside 12 days, which starts and ends with the two cup matches against Olimpic. And hence, the Italian will rest many of his first-team regulars tonight, giving some of the fringe players and youngsters an opportunity.
"They [The youngsters] will have a chance tomorrow to play. I do not have to show them anything, I have a lot of confidence in all of them. It is true that they have not played so much this season," Ancelotti stressed.
"But you must remember that Jese and Morata are competing with Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema. Casemiro has Xabi Alonso, Luka Modric and Illarramendi. It is not so easy to give them minutes, and they understand that very well. They also know I have faith in them, and their quality," the Italian added.
Olimpic, on the other hand, are sixth in the Segunda B table, nine points off the pace. They are unbeaten in their last five league matches, winning three. However, they will head into this home game as massive underdogs.
