- Filipe Luis should be fit enough to start at left-back, meaning that Lucas Hernandez drops out of the starting line-up.
- Jose Maria Gimenez and Stefan Savic will battle it out to partner Diego Godin in the heart of the defence.
- Kevin Gameiro will partner Antoine Griezmann up top for the home side, with Tiago set to continue in the heart of midfield after some good recent form.
- Hernan Perez is available once again after suspension and should return to the right-hand side of midfield.
- Pablo Piatti is carrying a slight knee problem, but the Argentine winger should be deployed on the left flank.
- Aaron Caricol is expected to continue at left-back, with Jose Jurado getting a chance in the middle of the park.

I can't believe this Espanyol side is the same side as the beginning of the season. They defended really well. Hats off for Quique Sanchez Flores.
