Valencia, 2-0 losers to Barcelona on their last outing, have lost just one of their last 11 games. The club are 4th in the table just two points above Sevilla and need to continue their impressive form if they are to secure a top four place and its reward of Champions league football. Nuno Santo Esprito will be boosted by the return of Enzo Perez and Pablo Piatti, although the pair may have to wait for their chance to shine with Rodrigo and Andre Gomes impressing in recent weeks and likely to keep their places. Esprito has no other injury worries or suspensions ahead of the game as he bids to maintain his side’s impressive home form which has seen them lose just one game all campaign, against Barcelona. The club have won 6 and drawn 1 of their last 7 at home and beat Levante 3-0 in their last outing in front of their fans.
