Villarreal Team News
Cedric Bakambu is expected to again partner Nicola Sansone up front. Denis Cheryshev is still carrying a knock but with Roberto Soriano and Samu Castillejo in great form out wide, he will most likely have to settle for a place on the bench in any case.
Las Palmas Team News
Marko Livaja is suspended so Sergio Araujo should start up front. Aythami should start ahead of Pedro Bigas at centre-back. Roque Mesa will feature as a holding midfielder.
