• Elche will miss out on the services of Grady Diangana and Bambo Diaby as they are injured. Hector Fort might also miss out due to a lack of fitness.

Player(s) to watch:

• Robert Lewandowski will be ready to lead his side in the attacking front yet again. The Polish forward will be looking to step up his game and get back to his form after a minor injury.
