Deportivo Alaves
- Yeray and Yuri both have injury complaints for Athletic, so Unai Nunez and Mikel Balenziaga should start in defence.
- Ander Capa is expected to come in at right-back for the hosts, too, as Marcelino rotates after naming the same starting XI twice in the space of a week.
- Asier Villalibre should start up front, Jon Morcillo should feature on the left wing and a reshuffle in central midfield should occur too.
- Wholesale changes could be expected for Alaves after Abelardo's departure and Javi Calleja's arrivalthis week.
- Ruben Duarte is suspended for the away side, so Javi Lopez is expected to deputise at left-back.
- The visitors could go with a 4-2-3-1 shape, with Jota featuring in a number 10 role in behind lone frontman Joselu.
