Villarreal vs Rayo Vallecano Team News
Villarreal have a number of injury problems at the moment, with Raul Albiol, Francis Coquelin, Kiko Femenia, Alfonso Pedraza and Giovani Lo Celso again set to miss out here.
As a result, it would not be a surprise to see Setien select the same side that took to the field for the first whistle against Girona last time out.
Jorge Cuenca could continue in the middle of the defence, while it is set to be the same front three, with Samuel Chukwueze joining Gerard Moreno and Yeremy Pino.
As for Rayo, Oscar Valentin remains on the sidelines with a muscular problem, but the visitors are otherwise in strong shape heading into Monday’s contest.
Head coach Iraola is expected to resist the temptation to shuffle his pack from the loss to Real Sociedad, although Santi Comesana could come in for Unai Lopez in the middle of the park.
Radamel Falcao is among the options for change in the final third, but it seems likely that Sergio Camello will again be given the nod through the middle for the capital outfit.
