Match Facts:
Athletic (8th, 20 pts)
- Valverde's men will be gunning for victory in a bid to put last matchday's 3-1 reverse at UD Las Palmas firmly behind them and make up some ground on the European spots.
- San Mames has proved to be quite the fortress so far this term, with the hosts' record reading four wins, one draw and one defeat. FC Barcelona are the only side to have left Bilbao with maximum points after their narrow 1-0 success back on Matchday 2.
SD Eibar (7 th, 21 pts)
- The Armeros come into this meeting between two sides with European aspirations in fine fettle following back-to-back victories. In their last two outings, Jose Luis Mendilibar's troops recorded home wins over RC Celta and Real Betis.
- Athletic represent formidable opposition on their own patch, whilst Eibar have a serious bout of travel sickness, having prevailed just once on the road all campaign. That triumph came on Matchday 3, when the Basques ran out 3-1 winners over Granada CF.
