Match Facts:

Las Palmas (16th, 17 pts):

- After their 3-2 victory away to Eibar in the first leg of the Copa del Rey the Canary Islanders are in high spirits. They drew their opening Liga BBVA game of 2016 2-2 at San Mames and are looking to pull away from the relegation places.

- Las Palmas are strong at the Gran Canaria stadium and their top-flight survival is likely to depend on it remaining that way. They have four wins in front of their own fans, their most recent a 4-1 hammering of Granada CF.

Málaga CF (11th, 23 pts):

- Málaga are seeking a fifth consecutive victory. Javi Gracia's team have won five and drawn two of their last seven games, though they head to Gran Canaria without Amrabat and leading scorer Charles through suspension.

- Malaga have signed forward 'Chory' Castro from Real Sociedad and he has completed his first two training sessions with his new teammates. The Uruguayan arrives to, in his own words: "bring pace, assists and hard work."
