Team News
Espanyol
Las Palmas
- Marc Navarro is still out injured for the away side, which should see Javi Lopez continue at right-back with Victor Sanchez also unavailable.
- Felipe Caicedo should join Gerard Moreno in a front two for the hosts, who are likely to play in their preferred defensive formation against possession-heavy Las Palmas.
- David Lopez is tipped to continue in the centre of midfield, with Oscar Duarte partnering Diego Reyes in the heart of the back four once again.
- Roque Mesa and Marko Livaja both miss out due to suspension after picking up yellow cards in Las Palmas' win over Osasuna.
- Hernan should come in at the base of the midfield, with Kevin-Prince Boateng leading the line for the visitors.
- Few other changes are expected from Quique Setien, with David Simon continuing at right-back due to Michel Macedo's injury, while Jese is looking more confidence after a brace last time out.
Halilovic shines
Espanyol is way better home than las palmas away.
2-1
Espanyol can beat everybody Home. Will be hard for Palmas not so good away...
1-0/2-1

Moreno & Caicedo vs Boateng & Jese... I think we could see many goals here.
