RCD Espanyol and Málaga CF face off this Saturday in the fourth round of Liga BBVA. The Catalan side have not been able to register a win thus far this season, meaning Sergio González's men know they need the three points from this tie. They will look for them against a Málaga side who sit in mid-table having won, drawn and lost so far.
Team news
Juan Fuentes, Eric Bailly and Álex Fernández are the principal new names for the home side in the tie, while Abraham González, Anaitz Arbilla and Felipe Mattioni all miss out. The Andalusians welcome back Duda and Sergi Darder from suspension.

"We have corrected our errors, we have kicked it all out and we go into the match against Málaga full of confidence", said Sergio González.
Málaga boss Javi Gracia said what he thought would be the key to match in his pre-match press conference: "we have to be prepared, and to stay loyal to our style, and we will have the chance to win. We will try to take advantage of space on the counter, but we will also try dominate play".
