Villarreal preview: Looking to maintain their perfect home record
Long-term absentees Logan Costa and Pau Cabanes remain sidelined for Villarreal due to ACL injuries. Willy Kambwala misses out with a hamstring injury, while Gerard Moreno is close to full match fitness and could feature from the bench.
Back in La Liga after a narrow defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Champions League, Marcelino is expected to make a few changes to the lineup for this game, but Ayoze Perez and Georges Mikautadze should continue in the final third in a 4-4-2 formation.
Predicted lineup: Junior (GK), Mourino, Veiga, Foyth, Pedraza, Buchanan, Parejo, Gueye, Pepe, Mikautadze & Perez.

Player to watch: Nicolas Pepe
Nicolas Pepe had a great start this season, with at least one goal contribution in each of his first three La Liga games. However, things have not gone swimmingly for the former Arsenal forward since then, as he has failed to score or register an assist in his last four appearances for club and country.
Can Pepe get back to scoring ways this weekend?
