Match Facts:
Villarreal CF (4th, 49 pts):
- Marcelino's men come into the game in fine spirits after last weekend's draw at the Vicente Calderon, clinching their spot in the Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday and seeing their grip on fourth place, which would earn them Champions League qualification, become ever tighter. Villarreal are aiming not to relinquish their place amongst the top four between now and the end of the season and this means winning this one.
- The Yellow Submarine will be looking to get the upper hand tactically in a game which means a lot to the club and its supporters. As always, the battle in the middle of the park will prove to be key, Bruno Soriano and Manu Trigueros will be bidding to stamp their authority on proceedings to give speed merchants, Denis Suarez and Samu Castillejo licence to wreak havoc down the flanks.

Levante UD (19th, 20 pts):
- After an excellent performance in the last Liga BBVA matchday (a 3-0 win v Getafe), Rubi's charges will once again be looking to the attacking quartet of Jose Luis Morales, Giuseppe Rossi, Deyverson and Joan Verdu to fire them to victory. Against their neighbours, the visitors' attackers will be going all out to extend their fine recent form.
- A look back at the head-to-head record in this fixture shows just what a competitive and tight game we're sure to be in for this time round. Each team have claimed two victories a piece in the last four Villarreal v Levante encounters.
