Elche CF are needing three points in Liga BBVA following two consecutive losses. To do so, Fran Escribá's team must beat a Celta Vigo side that are flying high on the back of winning the Galician derby against Deportivo (2-1).
Team news
Celta travel to Alicante with all their players available, with midfielder Nemanja Radoja passing a fitness test after taking a blow to the head last time out against Depor. Also, Santi Mina comes into the squad, from which Lévy Madinda and David Costas have been omitted. For the home side, midfielder Aarón Ñíguez will miss out.

Despite the last few results, Fran Escribá seemed confident ahead of the tie: "I'm convinced that we won't lose another game in succession. The squad is relaxed and concentrated". Meanwhile, Eduardo Berizzo made it known his side will be looking to win, whoever they play: "Elche will ask a lot of us, and we will do what we have to in order to hurt them".
