Team News
Espanyol
Real Sociedad
- Espanyol took advantage of Málaga's thin squad with a 2-0 win, goals from Diego Colotto and Sergio Garcia gave them the three points.
- Javi López and Simão return from suspension and will most likely replace Felipe Mattioni and Wakaso Mubarak.
- Joan Capdevila is a doubt, and should he fail to shrug off his muscle problem then Víctor Álvarez will deputise at left-back.
- There's a real sense that Champions League football is a possibility in Sociedad, as they moved into fourth spot with a 4-1 win over Real Valladolid.
- Gorka Elustondo and Diego Ifrán are available for selection and give Philippe Montanier some added strength in-depth.
- The starting eleven is picking itself at the moment, though there are some decent alternatives should the team need freshening up.
No asist Simão, take Carlos Martínez.
Real Sociedad have to continue their good run against Espanyol. They should win this.
