Team News
Valencia
Las Palmas
- Ruben Baraja played defender Mouctar Diakhaby in centre midfield against Sevilla last week - the Frenchman scored the opener and dominated in possession so will likely keep his place there as part of Baraja's new plan.
- new signing Cenk Özkacar started last week too at centre-back and should keep his place against Las Palmas.
- With no new signings to report this week, the Valencia boss will likely rely on an injection of youth to get his team over the line on Friday evening.
- García Pimienta will most likely stick with his 4-5-1 formation that earned Las Palmas a draw against Mallorca on the opening weekend, fielding Jonathan Viera off the right to maximise his threat.
- All 11 players selected to play last week are fit to travel to mainland Spain for Las Palmas' first away game of their returning season in La Liga.
- New signing Munir failed to create any chances after coming off the bench against Mallorca, so Marc Cardona will likely keep his place up front.
