Match Facts:
Espanyol (9th, 36 pts):
- Quique Sanchez Flores's men are winless in their last two LaLiga Santander matches, having picked up a draw and a defeat apiece, both on their travels. They will be desperate to get back to winning ways in front of their own fans as they seek to avoid their season petering out.
- The head-to-head stats make promising reading for Los Pericos, who haven't lost to the islanders in the league since a 2-1 reverse way back in November 1987.
Las Palmas (12th, 32 pts):
- After drawing 3-3 with Real Madrid at the Bernabeu and beating CA Osasuna 5-2, Quique Setien's side head to Cornella targeting three points that would go a long way towards securing their LaLiga Santander status for another year and allow them to dream of an unlikely late-season push for the European spots.
- Jese, who scored a brace against Osasuna, and Jonathan Viera, who has created the most chances per game (3.09) in LaLiga Santander this term, will be two of the men to watch out for in this encounter.
