Predicted lineup: Dmitrovic (GK), Hernandez, Sergio, Saenz, Chicco, Cruz, Tapia, Brasanac, Duk, Munir & Raba

Player to watch: Munir El Haddadi
Former Barcelona player Munir El Haddadi is now strutting his stuff at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque. The 29-year-old quickly became a fan favourite with his unyielding desire to always search for the three points.
Can Haddadi make the fans proud?
The La Masia product did very well in scoring a 7th-minute opener for his team in the match against Sevilla a few days ago. Now, the winger has four goals to his name. Surely, his chances of proving our chief Leganes vs Espanyol predictions are looking good.
