Date- Thursday, October 23 | Kick-Off- 11:30 PM (IST) | Venue- Municipal de Ipurua
Eibar
Ivan Ramis is yet to recover from his injury which makes way for Anatiz Arbilla and Paulo Oliveira as the defensive partnership. Cote and Blasis should be accompanying them at wing-back. Rober Correa is also on the injury list for the hosts. Edu Exposito could be involved in a midfield trio of Gonzalo Escalante and Pape Diop. Enrich and Orellana should be set up to attack while there might be a shuffle up between Pedro Leon and Takashi Inui at the flanks.
Villarreal
Vicente Iborra could be placed to anchor the midfield as Manu Morlanes’s injury keeps him out till mid-November. Ruben Pena’s knee injury could see Mario Gasper fill the right-back position. While Xavi Quintilla could accommodate the left-back spot in place of Alberto Moreno who’s also out due to injury. Anguissa, Iborra and Santi Cazorla should form the midfield. Whereas, Chukwueze, Bacca and Ontiveros could be the attacking front three.
