Team News
Celta Vigo
Espanyol
- Celta Vigo head coach Abel Resino accepted his teams' survival remained in the balance, but saw their hopes of securing their La Liga future rise following an important 2-0 away win at Valladolid.
- Javi Varas dislocated his elbow as he landed awkwardly, he was replaced by 17 year-old debutant Rúben Blanco, the youngster will be between the sticks once more with Sergio Álvarez also sidelined.
- Celta were forced to field two left-backs against Real Valladolid, Jonny returns from suspension to play at right-back and Jonathan Vila will likely be on the bench.
- Espanyol are yet to beat local rivals Barcelona at their new ground in four attempts, goals from Alexis Sánchez and Pedro gave Barça a 2-0 win after the home fans turned their backs on the guard of honour.
- Simão Sabrosa will probably start on the left-wing, after Wakaso lost his temper and was sent off in a display of handbags during the derby.
- Sergio Tejera returns, but is unlikely to impact on the first eleven, while Héctor Moreno is away on international duty.
