Player to watch: Pere Milla
Pere Milla found the net in Espanyol's victory at Oviedo last time out. The 33-year-old midfielder is up against his former team, having made the switch from Elche to Espanyol two years ago. He has four goals in seven La Liga assignments and will fancy his chances of getting on the scoresheet this weekend.
