Villarreal will be eager to restart another unbeaten run after league leaders Real Madrid crashed their three-game winning streak in the top flight just before the international break.
The Yellow Submarine will have to do without Pay Cabanes and Logan Costa for this weekend's game as both players have long-term cruciate ligament injuries, while Juan Foyth (muscle) and Willy Kambwala (hamstring) are also unavailable.
Attacking stars Ayoze Perez and Gerard Moreno are getting closer to full recovery from injury, but it remains to be seen if both players will be fit enough for a place in the bench this weekend. Meanwhile, Santiago Mourino will not be available for selection following his dismissal in Madrid last time out.

Player to watch: Georges Mikautadze
