Alaves preview: A solid point in Sevilla
Alaves fell behind after just 12 minutes during their trip to Sevilla on Sunday evening but recovered well to earn a share of the spoils.
A first-half stoppage-time strike from Kike Garcia proved enough for Alaves to earn a 1-1 draw at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
Santiago Mourino is back from suspension but fellow defender Abdelkabir Abqar is a doubt for the Real Sociedad game due to a hamstring injury.
Predicted lineup: Sivera (GK), Sedlar, Tenaglia, Garces, Diarra, Jordan, Guridi, Alena, Blanco, Garcia & Vicente

Real Sociedad preview: All square at the Estadio de la Ceramica
Real Sociedad made the tricky trip to Villarreal at the weekend, slipping behind after just seven minutes.
However, star player Mikel Oyarzabal equalised from the penalty spot in the 19th minute and then fired the visitors in front early in the second half, only for Villarreal to equalise on the hour mark and the game to end in a 2-2 draw.
Martin Zubimendi returns for Sociedad this week following a suspension but a hamstring injury could keep fellow midfielder Igor Zubeldia out of Wednesday's clash.
Predicted lineup: Remiro (GK), Traore, Elustondo, Munoz, Martín, Gomez, Sucic, Turrientes, Marín, Oyarzabal & Kubo
