Will Villarreal’s fantastic form continue?

Last weekend, el Submarino Amarillo held league-leaders Real Madrid to a goalless draw at Estadio de la Cerámica.

Villarreal kick off just three points behind Barcelona who occupy the final Champions League spot.

Ahead of this Tuesday’s round of 16 first leg against Juventus, will the Europa League holders enjoy a victory in Andalucía?

Granada meanwhile are simply fighting for their lives down at the wrong end of the table.

Robert Moreno’s men were beaten again last weekend, this time losing 2-0 to Real Sociedad in San Sebastián.

El Graná have now lost four successive matches, against Getafe, Osasuna and Real Madrid, having been unbeaten in seven before this rut.

So, Nazaríes are just one place and four points clear of danger at the start of the weekend.

Will Villarreal be too strong at Nuevo Estadio de Los Cármenes?

Right-back Santiago Arias, on loan from Atlético Madrid, remains injured so Quini will keep his place, chosen ahead of Víctor Díaz.

Despite Granada’s lowly position, Robert Moreno does have some good attacking options.

Luis Suárez and January signing Matías Arezo started up front last Sunday but Jorge Molina, Antonio Puertas and Rubén Rochina are all good alternatives.

Despite having that huge tie against Juventus right around the corner, Unai Emery will name his strongest side for this match.

Giovani Lo Celso has already become a key part of this team after arriving on loan from Tottenham.

After Gerard Moreno hobbled off a fortnight ago, Paco Alcácer could lead the line after his own spell on the sidelines.

With Gerard out, Arnaut Danjuma will be the main goal threat; he’s scored nine times since joining from AFC Bournemouth in the summer.
